Survey finds high job satisfaction among healthcare workers

A survey by Monster.com found that healthcare professionals as a group are the third most satisfied with all aspects of their job, trailing only engineering and finance employees. Registered nurses, physical therapists and occupational therapists are currently the top three occupations in demand, by volume of available jobs within the healthcare industry, along with nursing, medical and home health assistants in supporting roles.

The top markets with opportunities for these professions include some of the most sought-after and most saturated job markets in the nation, such as: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas and Houston. Thirty-four percent of respondents agree that there are more related job openings now than there were a year ago. However, the survey also showed that only 20% of healthcare professionals believe their employers are willing to provide higher compensation compared to the previous year.
