The latest from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a loss of 18,000 jobs amongst the healthcare workforce in September. However, that masks a dramatically worse situation among hospitals, nursing, and healthcare facilities that lost 46,000 jobs, offset by a gain of 28,000 jobs among non-hospital settings such as walk-in clinics. Since February 2020, there are about 400,000 fewer employed in nursing and residential care facilities. The reasons collated by the analytics firm Morning Consult are the obvious: poor pay, excessive workload, and burnout.
