Where is our career going???

Inquiring to those in the sub that are well read on the topic of which directions this career is trending

I’m U.S. based but if you are in another country and want to share some info on how things are going where you are feel free

My research into this topic has not yielded much. The BLS pegs paramedic roles growing quite a bit more than average (like basically all healthcare jobs) but I have not seen that supply and demand shift work in our favor too much in regards to working conditions & salary.

Anyone notice paramedics increasingly filling in gaps within non-ambulance sectors of healthcare?

In the northeast I’ve seen some increase in salary since COVID that has basically stayed stagnant but haven’t noticed much change

Obligatory I know other healthcare jobs are paid better pls don’t turn this thread into a nursing-is-better circle jerk thanks
