Some research indicates that health care job growth is not always good for the economy. For instance, a growing number of administrators in health care may raise health care costs without providing much benefit to patients. Yet, health care jobs are considered stable and often recession-proof, and the health care industry is now the top employer in most states. But several economists said recent federal policy changes on immigration and Medicaid might drag down job growth. It’s not clear when — or if — immigration actions and Medicaid cuts will affect hiring in the health care sector, but there are signs of potential softening.
