The healthcare industry is undergoing explosive growth. Before the pandemic, healthcare and social assistance industries were projected by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to be the fastest growing sector of the economy between 2019 and 2029. Factors driving this growth include aging baby boomers, increases in life expectancy, and growth in patients with chronic conditions. COVID and the expansion into telehealth has further contributed to this growth.
Employment in healthcare is expected to grow by 15% over the next 10 years, adding 2.4 million jobs in the process. While these figures don’t take into account the structural impacts of COVID, current trends indicate that future growth projections may well be even more optimistic.
In addition, opportunities for remote healthcare positions are getting a boost due to the widespread adoption of telehealth and telemedicine services. According to 2019 Health Center Program Data, 43% of health centers provided telemedicine, compared with 95% of health centers that provided telehealth services in 2020 during the pandemic. Looking ahead, a recent report by McKinsey & Company estimates that up to 20%, or $250 billion of current healthcare spending in the US could be virtualized.
