Aging Population Spurs Rise in Elder Care Jobs

Due to the aging of America, a dramatic increase in employment opportunities in the elder care, geriatric and senior housing industry is rising.

(PRWEB) October 9, 2003 --There are 35 million Americans currently over the age of 65, and that number is expected to increase to 40 million elderly citizens by the year 2010. This expanding elder population is generating a dramatic increase in employment opportunities in the elder care industry, and a growing demand for qualified, experienced professionals.

To meet this growing demand, ElderJobs.com a new nationwide employment website, has been developed. The site is exclusively for the elder care, geriatric, and senior housing industry, as well as those seeking employment in the field of aging.

Five years ago Cheryl Culbertson founded Elder Options of Texas, the leading elder care and senior housing website for the state of Texas. Recognizing the need for an employment site that concentrated specifically on job seekers and employers alike within the aging industry, Culbertson created ElderJobs.com.

Employers, human resource managers, and healthcare recruiters are excited about ElderJobs.com because the site focuses precisely on the type of employees they need" said Culbertson. The site accepts resumes only from individuals seeking employment in the field of aging resulting in quality resumes vs. quantity of resumes."

ElderJobs.com is also attracting the attention of hundreds of college graduates with degrees in fields such as Nursing Home Administration, Gerontology and Social Work, who frequent the site searching for employment opportunities, as well as many others seeking jobs in the elder care industry.

Job seekers benefit from the free resume posting services, immediate access to a variety of educational sites offering job-seeking tips & tools, career news & resources, as well as a variety of resourceful links to national and statewide organizations.

ElderJobs.com is connecting qualified eldercare job seekers with eldercare employers, filling both of their employment needs.
