From Health Affairs
Dear John,
In case you missed it, we recently launched an Instagram account
<[link removed]>. Follow us to stay
informed about newly published research and upcoming events.
Public Health Workforce Exodus
In their paper in this month's issue, Jonathon Leider and coauthors
compare intent to leave or retire in 2017 with actual separations in
2021
<[link removed]>
among staff in state and local governmental public health agencies.
The authors find that about half of the governmental public health
workforce left their jobs between 2017 and 2021.Employees in 2017 who
were ages thirty-five and younger or had five years' experience or
less had significantly greater odds of leaving by 2021.
An estimated 57 percent of the workforce could be lost by 2025 if
current trends continue.
Leider and coauthors assert that in order to maximize resources
allocated to the public health workforce, policies and interventions
should focus on efforts including modernizing talent acquisition,
improving workplace culture, training existing workers, and addressing
student debt.
Brian Castrucci, one of the coauthors of the paper, recently joined us
on A Health Podyssey to discuss the findings of the paper, which you can
listen to here
