Mature Market Experts: more mature market news and stats more often – Healthcare Worker Shortage- “The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that in this first decade of the twenty-first century, 1.2 million additional direct care workers will be needed to both cover projected growth in LTC (long term care) positions and replace departing workers. This increase in need is accompanied by a decrease in the pool of individuals from which the paraprofessional LTC workforce is generally drawn: women 25 to 55 years of age.”
