For HCWs in
Melbourne 88% and
New York 54%, immigrants in
Germany 43.5% and in the
Nienhaus, Schablon and Diel study
the proportion of participants with BCG vaccination was 59% in the meta-analysis and 43% in our pooled population
For arguments sake lets say 50%. How many HCWs are there in the US? The
US Dept of Labor says
- As one of the largest industries in 2008, healthcare provided 14.3 million jobs for wage and salary workers.
- Ten of the 20 fastest growing occupations are healthcare related.
- Healthcare will generate 3.2 million new wage and salary jobs between 2008 and 2018, more than any other industry, largely in response to rapid growth in the elderly population.
- Most workers have jobs that require less than 4 years of college education, but health diagnosing and treating practitioners are highly educated.
