Spotlight on Registered Nurses

Registered nursing (RN) is a quality, in-demand profession. RNs are the fourth largest local occupation, and typically earn about $80k per year. Recent license renewal data from the Kentucky Board of Nursing provides interesting insights into the nursing workforce.

Change since March of last year

The March data for the Louisville region continues to show a slowdown in the local economy. The unemployment rate is up from the same time last year, and the size of the labor force is smaller. Demand for workers is easing, as indicated by falling online job postings. Payrolls are up slightly over the same time last year.
