Healthcare

Seattle's Healthcare Industry sector, which includes healthcare professionals, hospitals, healthcare products, healthcare services, and research and training organizations, provides 96,000 jobs and contributes over $10 billion to the local economy.

With one out of every five jobs linked to the healthcare industry sector, Seattle has a high concentration of healthcare professionals. Seattle's healthcare industry sector is also endowed with world-class hospitals, research institutions, and academic medical centers, opportunities to collaborate with cutting-edge biotechnology research, and ability to attract patients from around the world.

OED is working closely with the Health Work Force Institute and industry leaders to address the workforce shortages faced in many healthcare occupations.
