It's an interesting subject - how many histotechs in the world.  I think 
one would never find the answer.  I am a histotech - for over 30 years.  
When I came to Louisiana, I was hired through State Civil Service as a 
Laboratory Technician.  They had no title in the civil service for 
histologist.  There were cytotologist, but not histologist.  I am no 
longer with civil service, but as a University employee I am an 
Associate, as are the techs in the lab.  Nowhere would our positions be 
listed as histotechs, so we would no be counted.  I believe this is the 
situation in many institutions.  So, from somewhere in the 
unknown.....Cheryl
