Transcript Number of Job Vacancies in Massachusetts in All Industries

Outline of Presentation to the
Health Workforce Development Conference
1.
The growth of wage and salary employment in the
state’s healthcare industries since 2001



One of the few engines of job growth in the state over
the 2001 – 2004 I period when massive payroll job losses
took place
Healthcare has generated over one-fourth of the net new
payroll jobs since the labor market recovery began in
2004 I in the state
Job growth in healthcare industries has been widespread
across labor areas of the state
2.
Job Vacancies in Healthcare Industries and
Occupations of the State in Recent Years





The job vacancy surveys of the Massachusetts Department
of Workforce Development; semi-annual surveys since 2002
IV
Time tends in the number of job vacancies in the state and
the share of all vacancies in the healthcare industries
Job vacancy rates in selected segments of the state’s
healthcare industries in 2005 II
Job vacancy rates in selected healthcare occupational
groups and individual occupations; variability across these
occupations
The distribution of job vacancies in selected health care
occupations across industries
3.
Selected Key Features of Healthcare Vacancies



Percent of job vacancies that are part-time is above
average for the healthcare industry as a whole and for
many health occupations (RN, nurse aide)
The geographic variations in vacancy rates for healthcare
occupational groups is relatively modest especially for
higher skilled positions
There is high variation in wage rates with in some of these
occupations; low wages offered for some positions is a
cause of retention and recruitment difficulties
4.
The Demographic Composition of the Employees in
Key Healthcare Occupations



The gender composition of the employment especially in
technician and nursing positions; continued absence of
males from most of these occupations, exception EMT’s;
despite salaries that are very competitive with those of
male dominant occupations
Substantial variability in minority group access to different
healthcare occupations; under-representation of minorities
in many semi-professional and technical positions; overrepresentation in the nurse aide / orderly / home
healthcare aides
The immigration share of workers also varies widely across
occupations, among many work levels
