We find these high-profile manufacturing-to-meds examples are outliers that do not represent a systematic trend.
Healthcare job growth has offset 11% of the decline in manufacturing jobs.
This is roughly what you would expect based on its share of the workforce.

Politicians, the press, and researchers have advocated for a "manufacturing to meds" pivot in the Rust Belt.
Pittsburgh, PA, Cleveland, OH, and Rochester, NY are cited as prominent success stories.

Healthcare has maintained nearly constant 76% female share, while experiencing partial convergence across occupations
Large increase in female share of physicians
Offset by smaller increases in male share of nurses and aides

Unlike rest of the labor market that experienced hollowing out
Healthcare has seen strong growth in middle and upper-middle parts of earnings distribution
Powered by fast earnings growth for nurses and midlevels (PAs, NPs, CRNAs, etc)

Analysis | The average doctor in the U.S. makes $350,000 a year. Why?
When economists published revealing data about doctor salaries, the backlash was intense. Why? And why do doctors earn so much more in America than in other countries?
