As we all know, labor issues have taken over healthcare in the last few years, and the Wall Street Journal posts about the greater need for healthcare services and how that is affected by healthcare hiring. We could see a hiring boom in the next few years with an aging population, and COVID-19 becoming a recurring issue in the colder months. This will have a greater impact on our economy, and potentially help avoid recession numbers. The question only becomes how will the current infrastructure support this growth since the healthcare industry has struggled financially in the last few years. #Healthcare #Finances #Labor

A healthcare hiring boom is helping offset weaker job growth in other areas of the softening U.S. economy, boosting its chances of skirting a recession. The industry could serve as a strong job generator for years to come as an aging population and Covid-19 fuel widespread worker shortages and greater needs for healthcare services. Healthcare providers—including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and doctors’ offices—accounted for 30% of U.S. job gains in the six months through October, though less than 11% of the country’s total employment, Labor Department figures show. “As behavior returns to normal—as kids go back to germ-factory indoor play spaces and daycare centers, and as people schedule elective procedures and catch up on routine scans delayed during the height of the pandemic—providers are having to staff up to keep up with demand,” said Julia Pollak, chief economist at ZipRecruiter. Job growth has accelerated this year in healthcare while slowing in other fields as consumer spending weakens, home sales slump and other economic activity ebbs amid high interest rates. Healthcare payrolls rose at a 4.2% annualized rate in the three months through October, up from a 3.1% pace in the first quarter. Employment outside of healthcare grew at a 1.3% rate in the three months through October, down from 2.4% in the first quarter. In October alone, the nation’s total number of jobs rose by 150,000, the smallest monthly increase since June. Just three sectors—healthcare, government and leisure and hospitality—accounted for nearly all of those gains, leaving the rest of the overall economy with no net job growth. That contrasted with the more broad-based hiring seen earlier this year.

May's Jobs Report: Strong Hiring Continues in Healthcare The May jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed continued strength in healthcare hiring. The economy added a robust 272,000 jobs overall, and healthcare again emerged as a leader in job growth. According to the BLS, health care added 68,000 jobs in May, in line with the average monthly gain of 64,000 over the prior 12 months. In May, employment growth continued in ambulatory health care services  (+43,000), hospitals (+15,000), and nursing and residential care facilities (+11,000). May marked the 40th consecutive month of job gains in the United States. This sustained growth underscores the resilience of the economy despite various challenges. Overall, the economy saw a slight change in unemployment to 4% breaking April's 27-month streak of unemployment rate below 4% (a year earlier, the jobless rate was 3.7 percent) – the longest such streak since 1953. Additionally, the Federal Reserve announced today they will be holding interest rates steady. This decision, following continued strong job growth, might signal a wait-and-see approach from the Fed as they monitor inflation data. #healthcarejobs #healthcarestaffing #healthcarehiring #locumtenens #healthcareemployment

🌟 Exciting News Alert! 🌟 A colleague recently shared some fascinating insights with me about the healthcare industry, and I couldn't wait to share them with my network! Did you know that throughout 2023, healthcare experienced a rate of employment growth that hasn't been seen in more than three decades? According to an analysis by Altarum of Bureau of Labor Statistics data released on Jan. 31, here are some key findings: 1️⃣ Healthcare employment expanded by 3.9% in 2023, which is more than 2.5 times faster than all other industries! 2️⃣ This growth rate hasn't been seen since 1991, when it was 4.8%. 3️⃣ Surprisingly, 1 in 4 jobs created in the economy last year were in healthcare! These findings underscore the significant demand for healthcare services, a return to pre-pandemic levels of care, and efforts to replace workers who left due to burnout during the 'Great Resignation' in 2021 and 2022. This trend away from pandemic-related workforce numbers is evident in the analysis, with hospital employment growing by 192,700 jobs and ambulatory care settings seeing a 9.2% increase since February 2020. However, nursing and residential care employment still lag behind pre-pandemic levels, likely due to various factors such as closures and staffing shortages. The momentum continues into 2024, with healthcare starting the year strong. In January alone, the industry added 70,300 jobs, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics report. Exciting times ahead for the healthcare sector! Let's keep an eye on these developments as they unfold.

While the continued demand for the healthcare workforce outweighs the supply, healthcare hiring remains at a peak above other verticals currently. The article highlights how helahrcare accounts for 30% of all hiring in the last 6 months through October. While healthcare and leisure may buoy the markets jobs growth overall; it continues to highlight the staffing challenge we’re all facing as a nation with salaries/rate increases not able to maintain par with other industries in the same geographical market. Interest excerpt below: “Healthcare payrolls rose at a 4.2% annualized rate in the three months through October, up from a 3.1% pace in the first quarter. Employment outside of healthcare grew at a 1.3% rate in the three months through October, down from 2.4% in the first quarter.” Highlighting the outpacing issue: “The number of employees in healthcare and social assistance who quit their jobs in September was 9% higher than before the pandemic, and 22% higher than the 2019 average.” What will be most interesting to me is to monitor if the changes were making to the experiences and tools incents future generations to select this career path over others. #laborshortage #staffingandrecruiting #usjobseekers #healthcare
