Overview
According to Recruiter.com, the demand for anesthesiologists is expected to increase, with 5,410 new jobs expected to be filled by 2029. This represents an annual increase of 2.10% over the next few years. Another report from Zippia shows that the demand for anesthesiologists is expected to grow by 4% from 2021 to 2031, which is above average. An increased demand for medical procedures, ageing baby boomers and a rise in the number of procedures made possible by technology are some factors driving the demand for anesthesiologists.
