During May 2012, 6,000 job ads for robotics were posted – a 29% year-over-year growth and twice the volume of similar ads in May 2010, reported Wanted Analytics, a Canadian research firm providing “business intelligence for the talent marketplace.”

33% of the job postings were for healthcare practitioners with a robotics skill set and Phoenix, Detroit, New York City, Sacramento and Chicago had the highest number of want ads.
