Health Services Management Job Outlook* Demand for Health Services Managers is on the increase due to the aging population and the rapid growth of the number of medical exams, procedures and treatments performed today.
Employment of medical and health services managers is expected to grow 16% from 2006 - 2016, faster than average for all occupations (Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-2009 Edition). Hospitals will continue to employ the most medical and health services managers over the next decade. However, employment will grow fastest in doctors' offices, clinics, and in home health care agencies.
Health Services Management Career Earnings* Managers with an associate degree in health services management can typically expect to make somewhere between $30,000 - $55,000 depending upon work experience and location of employment. Individuals who go on to acquire more education (a bachelor's or master's degree) can rise faster in the field.
