Abstract: This paper examines the nature of employer training budgets specifically in the healthcare industry within the general context of industrial training expenditures in the USA. Investigating the period between 1982 and 1997, the inquiry finds that the behaviour of the healthcare industry is atypical. Thus, while the findings, consistent with other studies, are that industries for the most part have been growing their training budgets, the same cannot be said for organisations that deliver health services. These findings suggest that industries' willingness to invest in their workforce may vary and have a potentially significant impact on how they serve the larger society.
