Nurses in short supply
Article Abstract:
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) in 2020 expect that the demand for nurses could exceed the supply by 40 percent if nothing was done to stop this trend due to population growth, more elderly persons and medical advances that require greater skill. Broadening the recruitment base-nurses would help alleviate the shortage, but long-term solutions most likely will have to deal with the more fundamental nature of the field.

To serve man
Article Abstract:
Two economists, Jack E. Triplett and Barry P. Bosworth have used data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis to construct measures of overall productivity for the goods- and service producing industries. Their data revealed that productivity in the service sector rose considerably since 1995 and at a much faster rate than from 1970 to 1995.
