The healthcare industry is experiencing significant job gains, with 68,000 positions added in May alone, contributing to 25% of total job gains that month. However, despite the growth in jobs, the industry is grappling with an ongoing labor shortage, especially for nurses and doctors. Factors such as high levels of burnout, varying needs across different regions, and the emergence of non-traditional healthcare opportunities like telehealth and consulting are contributing to the shortage. This workforce challenge is impacting patient care and leading to delays in care services as hospitals struggle to attract and retain staff amidst rising costs and restricted investments in technology solutions.
