WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Health care is projected to be one of the fastest growing segments in the job market in the coming years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.  The recent passage of landmark health care legislation raises the question: will the new law accelerate growth in health-related jobs and industries, and are the right jobs being created?

This event will examine employment trends in the health care sector, the potential impact of health care legislation as an economic engine, the quality and scope of new health-related jobs and the role of the federal government and private industry in preparing a highly skilled workforce.

This event will take place on September 16, 2010 at the Knight Broadcast Studio, Newseum from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., and will be hosted by National Journal Group and underwritten by Lilly.
