  4. Health Care Industry Worker Shortages

  5. Additional Factors Contributing to the Shortage • The elderly population, a group with much greater than average healthcare needs, will grow faster than the total population between 2000 and 2010 • Advances in medical technology will continue to improve the survival rate of severely ill and injured patients, who will then need extensive therapy and care. • New technologies enable the identification and treatment of conditions not previously treatable

  6. Turnover Rates Contribute to the Healthcare Worker Shortage • Additional openings will result as workers leave the labor force or transfer to other occupations. • High turnover due to low pay and status, poor benefits, low training requirements, and a high proportion of young and part-time workers, such as nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides. • In contrast, occupations with relatively few replacement openings, are those with high pay and status, lengthy training requirements, and a high proportion of full-time workers, such as physicians and surgeons.
