Employment of the Medical Laboratory Technicians.

Employment growth for medical laboratory technicians will be about as fast as the average through 2010. Competition for jobs, however, may be strong . One reason for this increased competition is the overall national effort to control health care costs. Hospitals, where most medical laboratory technicians are employed, will seek to control costs in part by cutting down on the amount of

laboratory testing they do and, consequent, the number of workers they require. Despite such cutbacks, though, the overall amount of medical laboratory testing will probably increase, as much of medical practice today relies on high-quality laboratory testing. However, because of the increased use of automation, this increase in laboratory testing probably will not lead to an equivalent growth in employment.

One other technological factor that will influence employment in this field is the development of laboratory-testing equipment that is easier to use. This means that some testing that formerly had to be done in hospitals or commercial laboratories can now be done in physicians’ offices.

Despite these moderate growth projections, aspiring technicians should keep in mind that medical laboratory testing is an absolutely essential element in today’s medicine. For well-trained technicians who are flexible accepting responsibilities and willing to continue their education throughout their careers, employment opportunities should remain good.
