Health Care Gained 329,000 Jobs in Past Year Politico Pulse by Dan Diamond—That's according to the latest job numbers on Friday. More than 15.7 million people now work in health care delivery, roughly one in eight workers in the private sector—a record. No other sector comes close to health care's year-over-year gains. But all those new health care jobs come with a price: More overall spending on health care, which ends up falling to patients and taxpayers. Economists say that the Obamacare repeal bill approved by the House includes spending cuts that will lead to health care job loss.
