Economic downturns and nurse attachment to federal employment
研究发现经济恶化会增强护士对大型公共医疗雇主的依附，老年护士更愿推迟退休转为兼职。
The impact of the financial crisis has been uneven-with differences across industries and occupations. Jobs linked to health care appear better insulated, with nurses specifically showing labor force gains during the recent recession. What is not known is how important public sector employment opportunities are for these national nursing trends. Observing the universe of nurses working for one of the largest (and publicly operated) health care employers, we show that worsening economic conditions lead to stronger job attachment. Relatedly, older nurses also seem more willing to delay retirement and instead transition to part-time positions during a downturn.
