REPORT FOR THE UIC TASK FORCE
The purpose of this brief report is to provide insight into recent trends in the supply and demand for health care workers
in the US across occupational titles by examining Occupational Employment Statistics from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Specifically we examine changes in the number employed along with changes in average annual wages for
each job category. The basic principle is that occupations with growing numbers and wages are experiencing demand
growth and those experiencing declining numbers and declining wages are experiencing a downward trend in demand.
This is meant to serve as one reference point for considering changes in enrollment and or growth (or decline) in any
particular training program. The data are examined at a national level, a regional level, and at the state level.

Objectives
To provide insight into recent trends in the supply and demand for health care workers at the national, regional, and
state level across occupational titles by examining Occupational Employment Statistics from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Methods
The data were obtained from Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Databases (BLS.gov, http://www.bls.gov/data).
Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey data for each year were downloaded from BLS.gov
http://www.bls.gov/oes. All job categories whose occupational (OCC) codes begin with ‘29’ or ‘31’ were included in this
report. Other healthcare occupations and supporting jobs were identified in keywords searches which include ‘medical’,
‘dental’, ‘ophthalmic’, ‘clinic’, ‘therapist’, ‘treatment’ and ‘health’. ‘Community’, ‘psychologist’ and ‘counselor’ were also
included in keywords, but job categories not in the healthcare sector were excluded from the final keyword search
results.
The number of employed workers and annual average wages by detailed job category were extracted for each year, and
2012 statistics were presented in tables 1 to 3. The number of healthcare workers employed in the US and Illinois were
directly summarized from OES data. The Midwest region was defined by the US Census Bureau. For the Midwest, the
total number of employed workers for each job represents a collection of 12 states. The average annual wage is the
mean wage weighted by the number of employed in each state.
Changes across the past 5 years in the number of employed and in annual average wages were calculated using the
following equation:
𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝑖𝑛 2012 − 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝑖𝑛 2008
% 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 5 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 =
× 100 (%)
𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐 𝑖𝑛 2008
Appendix 2
In the 5-year trend calculation, where necessary, jobs newly categorized in 2012 were merged back into broader
categories used from 2008 to 2011. For these merged categories, the overall sum and weighted averages using
employment counts as the weights were used for calculating number employed and average wages in the broader
categories, respectively. All annual average wages were expressed in 2012 US dollar amounts and were inflated using
the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U).
The occupations where both the number employed and the average wages grew over the 5 years were defined as ‘In
Demand Jobs’. On the other hand, we identified ‘Jobs in decreasing demand’ as having both the number employed and
wages decreasing over the last 5 years. Following the 2012 descriptive tables, the “in demand” and “decreasing
demand” job titles are presented below at the national, regional, and state level.
The numbers provide one potentially useful reference point for considering changes in current educational programs.
However, it is important to note that there is not always a match or an exact mapping between educational programs
and occupational titles. Further past trends may not reflect future outcomes.

Note to Tables A11 and A12: Source: Student Data Book, Office of Institutional Research. OIR does not
currently report enrollment or degree data on joint degree programs or for most IBHE certificates. The
Student Data Book format was redesigned with the 2010 report, so 2009 data is not always consistent
with data from 2010-2013. Breakout and aggregation of degree programs is not consistent: In some
cases data is reported for individual programs while in others (e.g., Public Health) degrees are
aggregated by level. Grey highlighting indicates degree program did not exist in that year.

Illinois
Health Care Reform Implementation Council (HCRIC)
(http://www2.illinois.gov/gov/healthcarereform/Pages/HealthReformImplementation.aspx
Comprised of directors of state departments responsible for elements of ACA implementation.
Recommendations include: “convening a Healthcare Workforce work group to develop an
aggressive, comprehensive plan for professional and paraprofessional health care and
public health worker shortages statewide, now and in the future.”
The Affordable Care Act includes a comprehensive strategy with $250 million in funding to
achieve these goals by investing in new caregivers through training, new incentives to physicians for
providing primary care to patients, and support for caregivers who choose to enter primary care in
underserved areas.
Core Workgroup on Workforce: Short term. Final report was due Sept 2013.

Community Health Workers

Department of Labor 2010 Standard Occupational Classification system. In it, CHW job
responsibilities are defined as:
Appendix 32
Assist individuals and communities to adopt healthy behaviors. Conduct outreach for medical personnel
or health organizations to implement programs in the community that promote, maintain, and improve
individual and community health. May provide information on available resources, provide social
support and informal counseling, advocate for individuals and community health needs, and provide
services such as first aid and blood pressure screening. May collect data to help identify community
health needs.
The first federal effort authorizing CHW programs – the Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic
Disease Prevention Act – passed in 2005. The legislation authorized $25 million in HRSAadministered grants for patient navigator (a type of CHW) programs to coordinate health care
services, provide health screening and health insurance information, conduct outreach to medically
underserved populations, and perform other duties common to CHWs. This program was
reauthorized in 2010 under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA; also known as
healthcare reform) as well as numerous other opportunities to expand and further integrate CHW
programs into the health care system.
CHW Financing:
The large majority of CHW programs rely at least in part on paid CHW positions. As such, funding is
essential but can be difficult to obtain reliably. Two-thirds of all CHW programs use multiple funding
streams from a variety of public and private sources). Funding opportunities differ by community
but those of interest to HCH projects generally fall into one of four categories: time-limited grants,
state and local general funds, Section 330 health center
grants and Medicaid.
Patient Navigators:
The term “patient navigator” is used to refer to an individual who is culturally competent either by
virtue of being a peer of the program’s target populations (e.g., Hispanic/Latinos, older adults) or by
training. This individual works in collaboration with patients and/or their communities, health-care
providers, and the social services system to effect improvements in access and utilization of the
health-care system. Some examples of desired outcomes of patient navigation programs include
improved rates of cancer screening, early diagnostic intervention, and improved treatment
adherence and follow- up care.
Roles have included serving as a peer educator, conducting appointment scheduling, providing
reminders, accompanying patients to appointments, providing support to ensure appropriate
follow-up care, providing transportation, identifying resources in the community, and enrolling
patients in insurance.
