"There are multiple factors working against the healthcare industry. First, as mentioned, the population has been shown to be an aging group that is not going to be able to simply go out and replenish its numbers with newer nurses or techs. Next, even with the forecasted predictions, the industry has still been slow to build bench strength for current nurses who now nearing retirement age.
