Press Release Body: Hospitals and healthcare are definitely on the reliable growth
pace. Current industry trend is really reverse to what you would expect, being new
to this sector - this is shortage of nurses and medical professionals, meaning that
it is rather challenge to find certified applicants, and not really to get new
contracts from healthcare organizations. This trends requires the investors to look
at healthcare staffing agency from the perspective of its popularity among nurses
community - getting nurses opinions on which company is "better" - in the senses of
being more friendly, offering better conditions, including faster paychecks
issuance. As medical staffing companies actually sells services in the form of
recruiting fees, plus W2 services to their medical temps - you should feel the
nature of the risks and the opportunities: they are at the management experience,
passion and competence side, not in real material assets, such as plants, production
tools or even buildings. Let's try to see the pro and contra arguments:
1. Economy Cycles: Booms and Recessions - healthcare is always in demand, so it
should be considered stable and not really exposed to economy cycling. This
statement might be considered as a trend, however some companies will suffer from
bad economy, but in our opinion mostly due to the recession "atmosphere"
2. US population "aging" - this is similar to what was long times seen in Europe and
Japan, where immigration offset (or even new young immigrants inflow reversed the
aging process) was not as active as in United States. Senior population requires
more medicine attention and potentially will increase the workload for healthcare
staffing organizations, who supply hospitals, nursing homes and retirement
communities with nurses and medical doctors
3. Baby Boomers "contribution". It is believed to be a factor and it should begin
its population aging contribution, in the sense that baby boomers will approach
retirement age in five-ten years from now. Maybe it is over estimated, however as
new population is growing due to current high rate of immigration into US
4. Healthcare placement competition is rising. Still, we see large number of
privately owned recruiting firms, who are strong on the local and sub-regional
markets, so the best way to grow is merges and acquisitions, it is not a good time
for new operations launching in the regions. Obviously it is too optimistic to
predict that all of these healthcare staffing firms will be absorbed by public
healthcare placement providers, however the trends are out there
5. Sun belt states syndrome. Retiring population has a trend to sell their mortgage
paid single family houses in New England, New York, Illinois, California and other
mid-west or northern states and move down to Florida, Texas, Georgia, Arizona, and
others sun belts states, where they surge new medical nurse inflow
