The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that the unemployment rate slipped back to 3.4% in April from 3.5% in March. This places it at the same level as in January at 3.4%, which was its lowest level since 1969. It has been hovering in a narrow range for many months now and underscores the ongoing tightness of the labor market.

“When aggregated across all care segments, one-half of responding operators (52%) report an acceleration in the pace of move-ins in April 2023. This marks the highest level of operators reporting an acceleration since April 2022, when 54% of organizations reported the pace of move-ins to be accelerating. However, this is still below the peaks experienced from April to July 2021, when approximately 60% of operators reported an acceleration in the pace of move-ins. The higher cost of debt is having an influence on organizations’ development pipeline. More than one-half of independent living operators (57%) report the higher cost of debt is having a significant impact to their development pipeline, followed by one-half of memory care (50%) and assisted living (49%) operators. Just under one-third of nursing care operators (29%) report the higher cost of debt having a significant impact on their development pipeline.”
