The number of physicians 60 or older climbed 48% between 2010 and 2020, while physicians under 50 grew by only 16% – hardly enough to replace those leaving to retire. Additionally, an estimated 100,000 nurses left the workforce over the past two years due to stress, burnout, and retirement, with another 610,388 intending to leave by 2027. The cost of practically everything his risen over the past few years, and while medical wages have increased, it’s often not by enough to keep pace with increased expenses. Research finds that 94% of employees report that they would stay at a company longer because of good benefits.
