ER Hiring Spree?

I'm not in the industry, but it seems like there has been a spike in ER openings in the past month. Does anyone have insight as to why this might be? (market optimism perhaps?) Also, if the fed starts to cut rates and the economy takes a larger downturn, would these openings be the first to go? If so, I feel like the lack of job security could outweigh the price of packing up and moving to NYC at this moment.


Just a stream of thoughts, looking for opinions, thanks!

 

I know that some firms are having layoffs, and virtually all firms have been on a hiring freeze for some time. I think we are at a point where staffing is low enough to where any turnover needs to be filled quickly. I would argue that for most teams these opening are very safe because if teams are hiring that means management explicitly approves and understands the need for the hire.
