The U.S. healthcare staffing market is projected to grow from USD 19,490 million in 2024 to USD 33,860 million by 2034, at a CAGR of 5.68%. The market is driven by rising demand for healthcare professionals, government initiatives, and evolving workforce models. The travel nurse staffing segment held a dominant 45.15% market share in 2024, while the locum tenens segment is expected to grow fastest.
