flag U.S. health care added 232,000 jobs in 2025, but growth faces threats from immigration crackdowns and a $910 billion Medicaid cut.

flag The U.S. health care sector added 232,000 jobs from January to August 2025, driving nearly half of the nation’s job growth despite representing only 11% of the workforce, fueled by demand for home health care and services for older adults. flag However, future expansion is threatened by President Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has increased deportations and reduced visas, potentially limiting the influx of foreign-born workers—18% of the health care workforce—especially doctors, nurses, and home health aides. flag Simultaneously, a new law cutting $910 billion from Medicaid over ten years could lead to 1.2 million job losses as hospitals and clinics face rising costs from uninsured patients, forcing service cuts or closures. flag While health care remains a stable, recession-resistant sector, its growth is increasingly at risk due to federal policies on immigration and public health funding.
