February 23, 2026 —The employment figures for January were better than expected, with the addition of 130,000 jobs. Healthcare was the sector of note, adding 86,000 jobs, nearly two-thirds of the total, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Following ambulatory care, hospitals added 18,300 jobs, and nursing and residential care facilities saw 13,300 new positions.
FMs will need to manage operating costs, budget constraints, workplace safety, operational reliability and resilience, as medical jobs increase headcount. Stabilizing the job market and recording a slightly lower unemployment rate inspires healthcare institutions to fill positions.
