Healthcare Professionals are In High Demand
After conducting Career Pathways research, the data revealed there is a substantial demand for healthcare professionals in the U.S. as a result of an aging population and more recently the COVID-19 pandemic. Occupations such as personal care aides, medical assistants, and heath information technicians are in high demand and are less likely to require board-certification and licenses.
Healthcare Industry Stats:
- Projected to grow 15% through 2029; demand driven by an aging U.S. population • COVID-19 is driving immediate, frontline staffing needs
- More than 2.1M mid and high-level healthcare jobs available in four metro areas *Data gathered from Economic Modeling Specialists International (EMSI) from Jan 1 – Mar 17, 2021
