Health care the dominant employer in most states

The Missouri Hospital Association's 2015 Workforce Report: Return to Volatility found that turnover among the 36 health care occupations studied climbed 3.4 percentage points to 16.3 percent from 12.9 percent in 2014's report.

Loathe to let insurance costs continue to skyrocket, employers are taking a bigger role in providing care to their workers. Some, such as the Boeing Co., are inking preferred partnerships with health networks that provide more consumer-centered services, coupled with higher-quality care at a lower cost. Experts predict such contracts to grow markedly in the coming years.
