They leave a solid number of permanent jobs in their wake without diverting a disproportionate number of dollars to one area, like HC does. You do an interchange and you send dollars to local quarries, material suppliers, fabricators, a&e, builders, etc. As this creates further commercial development, you get more jobs in those areas, but from varied firms with unique specialties. To the extent you use local financing, you help local banking community. It's a creative cycle with a decent mix of decent term temp jobs and perm jobs.
Preventative HC is a positive growth industry. But that's not where the real money is in HC. The money in HC in this country is in symptom treatment, management, and therapies. That form of HC creates jobs, but only within HC.
...A lot of preventative HC is eating well and getting exercise, so I don't expect that area to grow a whole hell of a lot.
