The Great Resignation, Employment, and Wages in Health Care

By: Amitabh Chandra and Louis-Jonas Heizlsperger
  • Format:Electronic
ShareBar

Abstract

Notwithstanding concerns about staffing levels and burnout in health care, federal wage and employment data does not support the suggestion that a COVID-19 pandemic-related spike in quitting has had an enduring impact for hospitals or physician offices. Employment in the care delivery system generally exceeds pre-pandemic levels.
