Overall, the U.S. Department of Labor predicts 1 percent growth, slower than average, for secretaries and administrative assistants through 2033. However, job growth will vary depending on the occupation. The DOL predicts good job opportunities for medical secretaries in the coming years. The growing U.S. population—especially the increasing number of people age 65 and older—will create steady opportunities in the health care industry. Medical secretaries will be needed for billing and insurance processing tasks related to Medicare and other claims. There will be strong demand for medical secretaries in a variety of medical settings. Medical secretaries are doing more technical work requiring computer skills beyond keyboarding. The job outlook will be brightest for medical secretaries with advanced education and those who are up to date on the latest software programs and technological advances.
