Healthcare – The Fastest Growing Sector in the U.S.

22 Million Healthcare Workers Wear Uniforms

Healthcare is the largest most significant employer market today.  There are 22 million workers in healthcare, which is the fastest growing sector in the United States.  Typically when you think healthcare we focus on large hospital institutions, and yes, that is where the majority of the employees reside – over 7+ million.  However, don’t overlook physician offices, nursing care facilities, assisted living communities, home healthcare, dental practices and urgent care services.  These healthcare services employ significant numbers of people.  Why you ask?  We know that each and every one of them wear a uniform to work. 

I’m sure you’re thinking, well they only wear scrubs and lab coats in healthcare and Edwards doesn’t offer those garments.  That is true, but there is so many more positions that wear what Edwards offers.  Here’s just a few of these positions.
