Wisconsin is facing a shortage of healthcare professionals.

Assembly District 58 State Representative Rick Gundrum, of Slinger told WTKM about a bill that could help.

"I came up with a bill addressing independent contractor health care workers and healthcare worker platforms. It involves electronic healthcare staffing platforms, otherwise referred to as job posting boards. These platforms will allow healthcare facilities to post open shifts and enable qualified professionals to voluntarily accept work that fits their schedules, locations and availability." 

It has made it through the Assembly.

According to the Wisconsin Workforce Development, Wisconsin could face a shortage of 20,000 nurses by 2040 and roughly 32,000 annual healthcare job openings through 2030.
