Business and job growth is high in many regions and will continue to increase through 2015 and beyond. A 5.0% Unemployment Rate is considered by analysts to be "Full Employment." If there are then jobs available despite this rate, America likely does not have any health workers left to do them:

• In March 1999 Electronic Recruiting News reported that from 2000 - 2015, the number of 25-to-44 year old workers in the US economy would be lower than in 1999. This has proven largely true.
