Which
healthcare profession is lagging many in terms of job creation? For
imaging technologists, vacancy rates have been dropping for nearly a
decade, and that trend won’t likely change in 2012. From 2003 to 2011,
as technologies like digital imaging have increased productivity,
radiographer job vacancies have plummeted from 10.3 percent to 2 percent
and job openings for CT specialists from 8.5 percent to 2 percent,
according to the 2011 Radiologic Sciences Workplace Survey by the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).
Over the same period, the number of radiographers per facility has decreased while all newer healthcare imaging specialties have increased. Overall, "the average number of technologists per facility isn't growing, and people are delaying retirement," says John Culbertson, director of research at the ASRT. "Managers may be holding positions open until healthcare reform becomes clearer."
