Definitions
Reading the numbers
Data Two different shares, two different sources.
Share of the industry's jobs
Of all wage and salary jobs in healthcare, the percent held by this occupation (OEWS). Example: Registered Nurse holds 15.1% of jobs here.
What it is not
Not the share of all registered nurses who work in this industry; role pages show that from the Employment Matrix. OEWS publishes no industry concentration index, so none is shown.
FAQ
Common questions
What careers are in healthcare?

Social assistance (NAICS 624, such as child care) is not included. Data: NAICS 621, 622 and 623.
Is the pay shown for this industry only?
Yes. Mean wages are OEWS estimates for workers in that occupation employed in this industry, combined across the NAICS codes on this page by weighting each code's mean by its employment. The national figure beside it covers the occupation in all industries.

Method
How this page is built
Industry: NAICS 621, 622 and 623. Ambulatory health care (offices of physicians, dentists and other practitioners, outpatient centers, labs, home health care), hospitals (private, state and local), and nursing and residential care facilities. Social assistance (NAICS 624, such as child care) is not included. Occupations: detailed SOC occupations with at least 1,000 OEWS jobs in this industry (employment summed across the NAICS codes; where an occupation is not published for one of them, the sum covers the others and the row says so). Two denominators: the share shown under each job count is the occupation's share of this industry's jobs (OEWS percent of industry employment, computed by TryHired over the combined codes); it is not the share of all workers in that occupation. Change 2025–35 is the Employment Matrix projection for that occupation within this industry, not national occupation growth. The industry change is a whole-industry figure and does not apply to every occupation in it. OEWS covers wage and salary workers only; the Matrix counts all jobs. Searches this page answers include “healthcare careers”, “careers in healthcare”, “careers in the medical field” (Ahrefs, U.S.). Since May 2025, OEWS publishes specific values for many wages above $239,200 a year; where BLS still publishes only “$239,200 or more”, that is what is shown. Data are in the public domain.
