Industry: Healthcare

Press Release Summary: Though the healthcare industry is hale and hearty compared to
other industries that have experienced massive layoffs of late, HealthcareCrossing
made history recently by adding a monumental 28,182 healthcare jobs in a single
week! With the growing job count in the healthcare industry, HealthcareCrossing
aims to update its website with each and every job opening. HealthcareCrossing is a
job-search site that provides instant access to a comprehensive pool of healthcare
job listings based on your particular area of interest.

Press Release Body: The biggest contributor to June's layoffs came from medical
centers and hospital centers, though they cut only a few jobs to bridge the gap
between the profits which they actually achieved and what they had projected.
According to various reports, the majority of the top 15 states for health care
employment saw employers increase their searches for new applicants in June. Also,
only some companies laid off workers in response to their internal problems, with
GlaxoSmithKline being a notable example. Overall, the healthcare job news was good
but far from great in June.

"The recession has hit the recruiters pretty hard in the first quarter," said A.
Harrison Barnes, CEO of HealthcareCrossing. "But HealthcareCrossing has been seeing
a record growth in the number of jobs, and is really doing a superb job."

Barnes also noted that about 217,000 active jobs are now available in the site
database, a whopping increase of 256% from the January job count in
HealthcareCrossing's database, which then stood at 84,758 jobs.

The health care jobs with the most jobs listed are:
. Nursing jobs (43,672 jobs)
. Healthcare specialist jobs (6,097 jobs)
. Surgery jobs (2,646 jobs)
. Medical assistant jobs (2,327 jobs)
. Mental health jobs (2,207 jobs)

Unlike other job-search and career sites, HealthcareCrossing weeds out spam and jobs
outside one's niche, allowing job seekers to search efficiently and specifically.
The number of healthcare jobs present in the database is expected to get an
additional boost in a few days. For more information on HealthcareCrossing, please
