Consultants and Hospital Employment Statistics

Posted on March 22, 2009 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Economic Conditions Better than Other Major Industries

By Staff Reporters

horizontal-nurses1According to Richard Pizzi, on March 9th, Healthcare Finance Newsweek reported that employment at US hospitals climbed 0.14 percent in February to a seasonally adjusted 4,719,300 people.

Bureau of Labor Statistics

Responding to just issued BLS data, the number employed was 6,800 more than in January and 131,800 more than in February 2008. Without seasonal adjustments, which remove the effects of fluctuations due to seasonal events, hospitals employed 4,703,700 people in February 2009, 2,200 more than in January and 130,100 more than a year ago.

Impact on Healthcare Consultants

This was good news for financial advisors, insurance agents and accountants; medical management consultants and health economists; HIT suppliers and related DME vendors, etc.

Assessment

The news was not so good in other areas of the American economy, however, as the national unemployment rate rose from 7.6 percent to 8.1 percent. The US economy shed an additional 651,000 jobs in February 2009. But, according to Rachel Pentin-Maki; RN, MHA of www.MedicalBusinessAdvisors.com

“Employment continues to be strong in almost all aspects of the healthcare industrial complex. This includes professionals, technicians, nurses and para-professionals, as well. However, in the long-term, we believe that medicine will not attract the best and brightest young minds in the future. The economic, political and competitive demographics are just not favorable.” 

Conclusion

And so, your thoughts and comments on this Medical Executive-Post are appreciated. Is healthcare really a recession proof industry? What about those bright young minds; where will they go for professional careers, instead?
