Quick Facts about Medical Administrative Assistants*

  • Employment of Medical Administrative Assistants is projected to grow 21 percent from 2014 to 2024, much faster than the average for all occupations.
  • The number of individuals who have access to health insurance is expected to continue to increase because of federal health insurance reform. In addition, aging baby boomers will demand more medical services as they become eligible for Social Security and Medicare.
