Journal Article
Nurse Employment During The First Fifteen Months Of The COVID-19 Pandemic
2022
Overview
Analysis of Current Population Survey data suggests a tightening labor market for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing assistants, marked by falling employment and rising wages through June 2021. Unemployment rates remain higher in nonhospital settings and among registered nurses and nursing assistants who are members of racial and ethnic minority groups. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the immediate shutdown of economic activity in March 2020, overall employment in health care dropped precipitously in all sectors (exhibit 1). As employment gradually resumed (except in nursing facilities), the prevailing dynamic in the health care labor market shifted from furloughs to reports of burnout and nurse shortages.1 Amid this shifting landscape, there has been no systematic analysis of workforce data to increase understanding of the economic impacts on nurses. Using national data from federal government surveys, we provide a snapshot of the pandemic's impacts on employment and earnings across categories of the nurse workforce by major employment setting and by race and ethnicity over the course of the first fifteen months ofthe pandemic. Although we are unable to definitively attribute these impacts to changes in supply of or demand for nurses, the observed trends shed light on broader workforce dynamics affecting this critical workforce.
