Abstract	This executive summary highlights several findings about healthcare. These are: (1) Healthcare is 18 percent of the U.S. economy, twice as high as in other countries; (2) There are two labor markets in healthcare: high-skill, high-wage professional and technical jobs and low-skill, low-wage support jobs; (3) Demand for postsecondary education in healthcare professional and technical occupations is third to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and education; (4) Upskilling in nursing is growing especially fast; (5) Healthcare skills are concentrated in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, but healthcare poaches STEM talent from other high-skill occupations because of high wages and different work values; (6) Despite STEM skill sets, healthcare workers tend to value "relationship: and "support" in the workplace and have "social" work interests; (7) Healthcare is predominantly female, yet women still make less than men; (8) Healthcare has largest proportion of foreign-born and foreign-trained workers in the country; (9) The healthcare workforce is growing in ethnic diversity; (10) Physicians and other doctors are the highest income earners in the country, and doctors tend to come from the most affluent families; and (11) Obesity continues to be a concern.
