Despite nationwide reports of healthcare systems eliminating jobs, the sector added 34,000 jobs last month according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The healthcare sector has added jobs for 131 consecutive months, or nearly 11 straight years, despite the recession and fears that the Affordable Care Act would cause the sector to shrink. Last month’s growth was twice the standard rate at nearly three percent, most of which was concentrated in ambulatory services.

One element of continuing job growth is the increase in demand for services created by larger numbers of insured patients. At the same time, the decrease in uninsured patients due to marketplace policies and Medicaid expansion has reduced healthcare spending for charity care and covering self-pay patients.

Year over year spending has dropped significantly from 2007-2008 levels, but has remained consistent over the last several years.
