Employment in healthcare occupations is projected to continue to grow exponentially. Overall, the US is expected to add about 2.4 million new jobs in the healthcare industry between now and 2028, far more than any of the other occupational groups. In Southwest Florida (region 24), that translates to an expected growth of 18.9% between 2020 and 2028. The average industry growth rate is 3.4%. Even when COVID-19 brought the economy to a near standstill, the health care sector was one of the quickest to rebound – by October 2020, nearly two-thirds of those healthcare jobs that had been lost were recovered, compared to 54% of all jobs in the country.
