Yoh keeps its eye on labor, employment and salary trends, and every quarter it publishes the Yoh Index of Wages.
Fort has a solid understanding of wage trends in the area of healthcare. Her role is placing nurses—mainly occupational and employee health nurses, nurse case managers and nurse practitioners, but also physician assistants. Her work covers the states of California, Washington, Montana and Colorado.
