Employee compensation has historically been shrouded in secrecy, with employers rarely disclosing earnings for job openings until after offering the job to a candidate. This practice frequently causes candidates to decline offers when the salary doesn’t meet their expectations, resulting in a tremendous waste of time and effort for the candidate and the recruiter. Legislation requiring pay to be publicized helps avoid this situation and has ramped up recently. We examined legislation in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to learn which ones have salary transparency laws or plan to adopt regulations soon to help healthcare and other workers reduce pay gaps and make more informed career decisions.

Salary transparency benefits every industry, including health care, where recruitment is fast-paced and hiring the best talent often hinges on pay. It’s particularly helpful to travel nurses and other health care professionals due to the varying costs of living, especially housing costs, in different areas of the nation. Vivian Health dove into the legislation across all 50 states and the District of Columbia to learn which ones currently have salary transparency laws or plan to adopt regulation to help healthcare and other workers reduce pay gaps and make more informed career decisions.

As the demand for healthcare services escalates with an aging population and ongoing health care reforms, the gap between the supply and demand of RNs widens, but only in some areas. Vivian Health compared data across all 50 states and the District of Columbia to perform a comprehensive analysis of where nursing shortages may continue to impact health care systems. This detailed examination explores the depth of the problem, pinpointing states facing the most significant shortages and those anticipated to have an oversupply for a quantitative view of the national distribution of nurses.

Demand for travel nurses remains steady, though compensation has dipped from pandemic highs as some health systems reduce contract labor. Still, many registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) can earn more than staff nurses in similar roles, especially in high-demand specialties or locations with urgent needs. Vivian Health explores how much travel nurses earned in early March 2025 to help you decide whether travel nursing is still worth it. We also explain why travelers are paid more generously and highlight additional perks, such as the chance to see new places, gain diverse experience in various clinical settings and broaden clinical skills. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a curious newcomer, discover why travel nursing remains a rewarding career path, even amid shifting industry demands.

Global consulting firm McKinsey & Company predicted in 2022 that the United States would see a shortfall of 200,000 to 450,000 registered nurses, or RNs, for direct patient care by 2025. It appears the firm was correct. Between 2022 and 2025, the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, and Health Resources and Services Administration, or HRSA, noted a 1% increase in RN supply but a 3% increase in demand. The result was a deficit of about 295,800 nurses nationwide, falling within the predicted range. The persistent nursing shortage across U.S. health care systems is more than a temporary crisis. It's a consistent, critical challenge that strains hospitals and other healthcare facilities nationwide. As the demand for healthcare services escalates with an aging population and ongoing health care reforms, the gap between the supply and demand of RNs widens, but only in some areas. Vivian Health compared data across all 50 states and the District of Columbia to perform a comprehensive analysis of where nursing shortages may continue to impact health care systems.
