Those with Nevada medical jobs are working in the best place in the country.

BusinessWeek recently named Nevada the best market for college graduates interested in doing hospital work. Nevada was awarded the title because the median annual salary for employees under 30 came in at $60,900, which is 24 percent higher than the national median for the field.

On top of that, those in their 20s made up 35 percent of the hospital industry workforce in Nevada, higher than the 32 percent average nationwide. Some of the best facilities in Nevada include Humboldt General Hospital, Summerlin Hospital and Spring Mountain Treatment Center.

The healthcare industry is one that is often considered to be recession-proof, because society will always need nurses and doctors to take care of those who are sick or aging.

In March, Nevada’s education and health services industry employed 97,100 workers, according to the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is up from 97,000 workers during February and a 3.2 percent increase from last year.

Nationwide, the education and health services industry employed 19,163,000 workers during April, up from 19,148,000 workers during March. The industry had an unemployment rate of 4.6 percent during April, up from 4.5 percent during March. In march the industry had 543,000 job openings and 426,000 hires.
