Behind most of the structure here is a deliberate strategy: Keep the kids off the streets, while actively encouraging them to explore careers in
healthcare, «a growing industry where there are a lot of job opportunities,» Salgado says, and «very
few Latinos going into those
occupations.»
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), www.bls.gov, states that the overall
occupation of secretaries and administrative assistants is projected to grow more slowly than the average
occupation through the year 2014; with that said, the BLS notes that a
few niche areas - including the
healthcare industry - can expect average job growth.
