From 1990 to 1995, New York City’s health care employment rose faster than the national average, but growth then slowed until 2002, when the pace quickened again; the 1995–2002 slowdown reflected slower growth in hospital care expenditures, while accelerated job growth after 2002 reflected strong growth in the elderly population and in home health care. See http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2009/09/art1full.pdf.
