in health care

shortage of U.S. health care workers has been predicted
for more than a decade, a dilemma stemming from factors
including an aging population generating increased demand
for care, retirements of many older health care workers,
limited training facilities for those entering health care, increased
access to care due to the Affordable Care Act, and an increasing rate
of chronic diseases among the general population.
While there is demand for health care workers in nearly all areas,
need varies according to health occupation and geographic region.
Studies indicate impending shortages of physicians, nurses, home
health aides, health care educators, laboratory technicians, and other
medical professions. While shortages are likely to be most felt in states
with largely rural populations, according to the nationwide agency
CompHealth Medical Staffing, Pennsylvania ranks sixth out of eight
states with the highest demand for health care workers.
