According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov), overall employment in healthcare occupations is projected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations from 2023-2032. Approximately 1.8 million openings are projected each year, on average, in these occupations due to employment growth and the need to replace workers who leave the occupation permanently.
Moreover, the demand for healthcare workers is increasing. In the past year alone, the number of employers looking to hire healthcare professionals has grown significantly. More than 15,100 employers advertised job openings in February, up from about 13,000 the previous year. The U.S. Air Force was the leading employer, with over 3,300 job ads in February.
