Nursing Shortage in Maryland Hospitals Continues (August 1, 2006)

Health Care Replaces Technology as Hottest Employment Field

A new report by Mitchell/Martin Inc./Essential Staffing Associates (MMI/ESA) says the health care field is hotter today than ever before. Executives at MMI/ESA attribute this boom to a growing population with people living longer, advances in medicine, aging baby boomers, people having limited access to managed care, and a surge in the demand for preventive medicine. Hospitals across the country also have reported a significant increase in the volume of emergency department visits. With such a high demand for health care, MMI/ESA says qualified health care candidates are highly sought-after workers. MMI/ESA is a recruiting firm that specializes in permanent health care staffing. For more information: http://www.hcmmi.com/.
