Medical staffing companies poised for growth

Now could be the perfect time for small and medium-sized medical staffing companies to grow their businesses using working capital, a report by Reuters suggests.
BMO Capital Markets analyst Jeffrey Silber told the news provider that this sector of staffing will face increased demand in the next two years.
"An aging population and advances in medical technology should drive demand," he commented. "This should bode well for healthcare staffing supplier stocks."
A shortage of physicians willing to work in rural areas and limitations on the number of hours residents can work are boosting the need for temporary doctors, while the high number of current nurses facing retirement is raising billing rates for travel nurses.
Opportunities for medical staffing firms exist across the U.S. For example, a recent report from Michigan suggested that between 3,000 and 4,000 employees will be needed to staff two new hospitals in the next two years.
