WHA’s 2023 Wisconsin Health Care Workforce Report shows that the health care workforce must grow faster to meet the increased demand for health care created by an aging population. Health care employers will need to retain current employees while also attracting new talent to Wisconsin and to health care fields by making health care career pathways visible, achievable and meaningful. Even with the best efforts, it’s unlikely the workforce will grow fast enough.
 
WHA’s workforce analysis and recommendations focus on the targeted and sustained growth needed to address current and future challenges and on ways to increase capacity with a multi-generational workforce that cannot grow fast enough and is now falling behind.
