(11/5) New CMS Skilled-Nursing Pay Model Likely Dampened October Hiring

  • The ambulatory sector added 7,800 new jobs, down from a preliminary estimate of 18,700 in September.
  • Home health added 4,200 jobs in October, down 26% from September.
  • Hospitals made 2,100 new hires last month, down about 6,000 from September.
  • Community care facilities for the elderly actually added 4,600 jobs, a big change from the loss of 300 positions in September.
