Concerning Employment Contraction in LA County
LA County experienced a 13.6% decline in registered nurse employment recently, significantly underperforming both California (-2.3%) and the nation (+2.4%). This suggests retention issues or workforce displacement that warrant immediate investigation.
Widening Gap with State and National Trends
LA County's employment per 1,000 residents (8.41) lags both California (8.29) and national (9.65) averages. More troubling, while openings grew 26.6% locally, California saw only 6.8% growth, indicating LA's challenges are somewhat unique.
Experience Requirements Block Career Entry
LA County shows significantly elevated requirements for 5-9 and 10+ year experience levels with unspecified education, suggesting employers prefer experienced nurses over new graduates—a troubling sign for pipeline development.
