I guess it’s better business to close rather than provide raises.

Of course it is not hard to recruit staff if you are willing to pay appropriate wages and benefits. However, it is hard to recruit staff when they have no place to live or the places that are available are renting for 4 times what they used to go for. I have looked into expanding my business to western ND and its nearly impossible to find housing out there that is affordable. I can bring in people, but I can’t find places for them to live.

It’s not so much the personel as their families. Why not come you say, top wages. Sounds good. Then the family visits. No housing, school hasn’t a clue where to wedge more students or teaches, traffic is a nightmare, and you can forget a quiet evening out. Just to help out a few guys hit on your wife. Family concludes this is no place to live.
Wages in health care are high but can’t be that much higher than elsewhere because payment rates aren’t really in the control of the hospital.
Plus, they have lots and lots of walk in, give wrong adress and name and walk out without paying the bill health care.
