The Healthcare Industry and the Independent Workforce
Healthcare and related industries have accelerated the adoption of technologies and data analytics which is shifting workforce needs from traditional staff roles.
Covid-19 has completely upended the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries and the need for skilled medical professionals and medical scientists has never been more pronounced. New drug technologies and increased computing power have fundamentally accelerated the the pace of change and the aging US (and world) population will increase the need for medical support devices, pharmacology and increase use of insurance. Expectation for effective drug and medical device treatments are rising and will continue to do so across the globe.
Medical device manufactures have a rising need for non-medical, professional support in roles like mechanical engineers, designers, and various IT skill sets. The rise of digitization in health records (i.e. in insurance and research) increases the need to protect infrastructure and will increase demand for consulting capabilities in physical and cyber security.
By 2024, 9.8% of all American jobs will be in the healthcare industry.
