According to our analysis, the top five cities for healthcare jobs in the U.S. right now are Pittsburgh, PA, Cleveland, OH, Providence, RI, Indianapolis, IN and Milwaukee, WI. These cities include a combination of robust job markets for the healthcare field with a relatively lower cost of living to make for a great place to live and work in the medical field.
Particularly, Pittsburgh saw an 80% increase in open healthcare jobs during the month of April, which is significant as it is one of the only cities that saw a net positive change, as the healthcare industry saw record job losses these past few months. Many of these job losses were in non-emergency care, such as physician’s offices and dental offices. Hospitals did not fare as badly, but many are suffering from the recent loss of lucrative elective procedures that keep their cash flow steady.
With the rise of telemedicine and with Congressional discussions on how to best support the vitality of hospitals and healthcare offices underway, the industry is certainly facing unprecedented changes and challenges. However, the importance of hospital and healthcare workers is not going anywhere.
