jeff yastine tackles revenue sharing and explains why, for some teams, it pays to lose. >> reporter: the concrete beams rise out of the ground, looking like the skeleton of some high- rise condo. but, this is the future home of major league baseball's florida marlins. the stadium is publicly financed, and work is moving quickly for the 2012 home opener. the marlins have a reputation for being tight-fisted. player salaries are some of the lowest in the league. attendance has been at or near the bottom as well. yet, internal team documents leaked to the media last month showed some clubs, like the marlins, are hitting home runs on their profit-and-loss statements. the marlins earned $39 million in operating income in 2008. the pittsburgh pirates reported $22 million, despite 18 losing seasons in a row. the profits were helped in large part by what's called revenue sharing. that's where all major league teams kick cash into a central fund that's divvied up and distributed back to the teams. the lion's share goes to small -market teams. revenue sharing, says j.p. morgan's rich walden, is

and as jeff yastine reports, even people from sectors ravaged by the financial meltdown are taking ak at careers in health care. >> reporter: you'd think it was a sale at macy's, but this sea of humanity is seeking something different: jobs in the medical field. this recent job fair in miami was mobbed as employers, like hospitals and nursing agencies, look to fill positions. and that's the attraction for people like brian tulowiecki. >> hi my name is brian. i'm a registered nurse, i have a year of experience. are you folks doing any hiring at all? >> reporter: tulowiecki is a former stockbroker. after a decade in finance, he switched careers, went back to school, and got his nursing degree last year. >> the reason i chose nursing was that i knew there would be a lot of opportunities for work. the work was stable, the income was stable. coming from a financial services background where it's commission-based, that was one of the things i was looking for. >> reporter: his timing couldn't be better. financial-sector employment has fallen 9% since 2006. healthcare employment is up more t
