Nursing assistants numbered 1,505,900 in 2025, with 52,800 orderlies working beside them.

Direct care jobs employers run here surface further up the page whenever they are open, each one verified, and the setting is the single biggest thing separating two ads that otherwise look identical. Anyone writing one should lead with it: nursing home, hospital floor, assisted living, or somebody's house, then the resident or patient load, the hours, and whether the employer pays for state certification. Growth to 2035 is projected at 3 percent, with about 203,300 vacancies a year, so the honest ad takes the applicant.
