Jobs Market isChanging

That’s exactly why we need a good immigration policy. We need those people who still have a good work ethic. As a contractor, my best workers were Hispanic and just wanted to provide for their families and live a decent life. They were not taking away jobs, they were performing the jobs the lazy Americans didn’t want.

You’re generalizing.
I have plenty of extremely hard working American born help.

More Boomers are aging out of the workforce than there are Gen Zs coming in to replace them. That is a primary driver of the labor shortage.

Is that in Northern Wisconsin?
There’s a lot more young uns down south than far up north.

Twitter is laying off about 3/4 of theirs.

I guess Elon figures he doesn’t need as many blue haired marxists in “HR” as the former owner.

A different perspective from the internet. Maybe a little less cherry picked. Says boomers are being surpassed, slightly, overall?

No you’re missing the big picture

I will respectfully disagree with that.

From my own anecdotal experience, almost every one of these miracle hard working hispanics would stop working entirely the split second you took your eyes off of them. And they would stand there, not watching or looking at anything but the "walking boss", to see how long they could coast along without doing any work before they were "seen" again. Then the second someone (supervisor, etc) looks their way, they "jump" back to work. Until they take their eyes off of them again. Then the cycle repeats. It would take 6 to 8 of these "hard workers" to equal one regular guy with a shovel.

This was construction and road grading sites back in the early 90's in Phoenix, AZ.

Same for me in the golf business.

Outsourcing has definitely impacted several industries, and healthcare is no exception. I've seen how medical professionals struggle with billing and compliance, which can be a nightmare without proper expertise. A lot of smaller labs and clinics end up outsourcing these tasks just so they can focus on patient care instead of dealing with insurance claims and coding errors.

For specialized services, many labs look for experts who can handle the complexities of revenue cycle management. That’s why some prefer to outsource laboratory medical billing. It helps them reduce administrative burdens while ensuring accurate claims processing and compliance with regulations.

A lot of people seem to be switching careers, even if it means taking a pay cut, just to get away from high stress or long hours.

Thinking about it as the complexity increases with all the added local, state and Federal filings required that did not exist when I started…

Did you join just to say this?

A fair question. Over the years here on TBN, occasionally a brand new member will awkwardly weigh in on a thread. Often just a vague or anodyne comment. (Now, we have AI to help them with that) Don't know about Positivent yet but the other guys seemed to be trying to establish a beach head on TBN, to later advance an agenda.

Yep. We have seen the smaller health care providers struggle with billing and regulations. We stopped going to one provider for years because the billing was always wrong. They were struggling to start a business and getting the billing done correctly was very hard for them and they had to outsource the work. This of course cost them money that they were struggling to make in the first place. Eventually, they go it all worked out and we went back to them.

it is almost like the government, big health care providers, and insurance companies, want to make it hard to have competition.....

^^^Lots of truth to this and why the big guys get bigger and the little guys often sell out or go under…

If you are big enough in a given market this means you can have a take it or leave it position…

Seen it play out where the only hospital in a location will reject a payer and the those covered have to travel great distance…

Hospitals say the must dominate so as to stand up to insurance companies…

Small community based hospitals often cannot stand up to insurance companies and close…

I call it too big to fail or battle of the titans.

The sole practitioner is almost extinct or works outside the system…

Many doctors closed practices during the pandemic because of overhead required but all the stress is on the Doc to produce.

Young Docs typically join a group… the group handles billing, vacation coverage, IT support, equipment, staffing, etc…
