Healthcare has quickly become the prime engine of job growth in the 21st century. Since 1990, it has added over 10 million jobs, more than any other sector. It’s a cyclical nature all but guarantees that healthcare employment will grow even during recessions, especially with the persistently large gap between supply of labor and the high demand.

In the years ahead, there are three main factors that will shape recruiting in the healthcare sector:

Retirees: The aging U.S. population requires more and more care, while declining birth rates and the sheer difficulty of the jobs is tightening the pipeline of new workers.

Regulations: Rising public spending on healthcare has expanded access but introduced volatility

Robots: Technologies like diagnostic AI and care robots could potentially close the gap in supply and demand by boosting productivity, but adoption remains limited.
