OBJECTIVE. We sought to create and validate a help wanted index for tracking changes in the radiology job market.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS. All jobs advertised in Radiology and the American Journal of Roentgenology from January 1991 through December 1998 were tracked according to three separate parameters: academic versus private practice, subspecialty, and region. Statistical comparison was made between the first and second 48-month subperiods to identify changes.
RESULTS. Thirteen thousand seven hundred one advertised positions were coded. A dramatic decrease in job advertisements was noted after December 1991, with advertisements falling to one eighth of their late 1991 peak. A recovery has occurred, with advertising now approaching peak levels. Shifts were seen toward more private practice, midwestern location, vascular and interventional, and mammography positions. Declines occurred in the share of positions in California, the Southwest, and several radiology subspecialties. Other trends were noted but were statistically less significant. A strong correlation (R = 0.98) was found between the annual number of positions advertised and radiologists' median incomes relative to those of all physicians.
CONCLUSION. The job market in radiology, much as in other fields, can be tracked in a coincident manner with the use of a help wanted index. Changes in the makeup of radiology practice are important and are identified in a well-constructed index. These findings have validity and can be useful as an adjunct to other information for policy and planning purposes.
