Texas Employment Forecast and Dental Clinician Shortage Reported
What happened
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects faster employment growth in Texas. Separately, the American Dental Association reported a shortage of clinicians, citing issues across the country. The shortage is partly attributed to the lack of quality workplaces, described as "unicorn" offices, and the difficulty of organizing in small, private practices.

Why it matters
The projected faster employment growth in Texas could improve the regional economic outlook. The clinician shortage creates supply constraints for dental services, potentially driving up costs and affecting the capacity of public health service delivery.
