Health jobs are crucial to Michigan’s economy
Detroit Free Press, May 30, 2008

Michigan's hospitals directly employ 515,700 people, generate $36.7 billion in annual taxes, and pay out $26.3 billion a year in salaries and benefits, according to the fourth annual health survey by the Michigan Health & Hospital Association and the state's two leading physician organizations.
