Squarefoot stated that “There are more than 3 million registered nurses in the United States. These healthcare professionals are on the front lines of the medical industry – working long hours, providing medical treatment to patients and monitoring their recovery. The aging baby boomer generation is creating greater demand for healthcare in many places and some cities have become major hubs for healthcare providers.” Tulsa, Oklahoma being one of the “hubs” mentioned per the data they pulled from Indeed.com. Right outside of Tulsa are three Air Force Bases all of which are staffed by Loyal Source. These Bases have similar statistics and hire qualified healthcare officials for the military as well as their families.
