Employment for management consultants who work in the health care industry is expected to grow by 6.9 percent through 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), faster than the average for all careers. The health care industry is the largest employment sector in the United States, and regardless of the health of the U.S. economy, there will always be a need for expertise in this rapidly changing field. The pharmaceutical and biotech industry is increasingly hiring consultants to provide them with advice as they seek to develop blockbuster drugs and navigate the complex regulatory process that is part of bringing new products to market.
Competition for consulting jobs will be strong. Many people want to enter this career because it is prestigious, and consulting firms provide great pay and benefits. Opportunities will be best for those with a graduate degree in management consulting or a health care-related field and experience and expertise in the industry.
