The rapid growth is attributed to an increasing senior population that will require long-term residential care to enhance the quality of life. Also, while advanced technology has prolonged lives, it has also created the need for more nursing assistants. The BLS projected that job opportunities for nursing assistants would be most abundant in nursing homes and community facilities for the aged.
