In 2015, employment in the health care and social assistance sector grew by 3.5 percent, outpacing total nonfarm job growth. A large part of this employment gain was driven by community-based care industries, which include home health care services, services for the elderly and persons with disabilities, and community care facilities for the elderly. These industries are adding jobs at a rapid pace as the older population in the United States grows and seeks out affordable care options.
