Healthcare jobs have been on a tear, adding faster than other sectors every month. But the industry has been struggling.

Healthcare job gains have been on a hot streak, adding positions faster every month than most other sectors and continuing to climb as demand for care surges.

The added jobs every month are not all new jobs, as the industry is plagued by labor shortages from nurses to doctors. The underlying issues are high levels of burnout, different needs in different parts of the country, and opportunities outside of traditional healthcare like telehealth and consulting for startups.

That has created a desire to have more work-life balance, which is contributing to the high rates of turnover."Physicians are very stressed about why they are doing what they are doing," Walia told Yahoo Finance."We don't have a lot of data yet about how rapidly wages are rising for healthcare workers.

Walia said that while a doctor is legally allowed to check a patient's body by touch to understand what is going on, physician assistants are not. This means they are likely to order more tests than doctors, which in turn drives up the cost of care, she said."So that's going to make us even worse when we talk about healthcare expenditure for the country," Walia said.
