Annual Change in HC&SA Subsector Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted, Full-Year Change for 2015-2019, Year-to-Date Change for 2020)

HWDC Releases December 2020 Health Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment

The Department of Health Professions' Healthcare Workforce Data Center has released the December 2020 issue of its Virginia Health Care Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment. Data in this Brief is not seasonally adjusted.

According to preliminary estimates, employment growth in Virginia’s Health Care & Social Assistance (HC&SA) sector was driven mainly by gains from outside of the state’s major metropolitan areas. In November, the Rest of Virginia created 2,600 new HC&SA jobs, a gain that represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 25.4%. With this gain, the Rest of Virginia has now enjoyed three consecutive months of strong HC&SA employment growth. In total, this region has increased HC&SA employment by 6,100 over the past three months, which translates into a 19.6% annualized growth rate. Richmond’s HC&SA sector also enjoyed a solid month of employment growth with the creation of 600 new jobs in November. This gain translates into a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 9.2%. At the same time, Hampton Roads also made a positive contribution to statewide HC&SA employment growth by adding 100 new jobs during the month. Only Northern Virginia failed to increase HC&SA employment in November. Instead, this region lost 800 HC&SA jobs during the month.

Regional HC&SA employment highlights are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Region Nov. 2019 Nov. 2020 YOY Growth Virginia 463.6 436.0 -6.0% Hampton Roads 95.4 91.6 -4.0% Northern Virginia 139.6 123.5 -11.5% Richmond 87.5 81.7 -6.6% Rest of Virginia 141.1 139.2 -1.3%

Social Assistance made the largest contribution to statewide HC&SA employment growth in November thanks to the creation of 1,600 new HC&SA jobs during the month. This gain represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 30.8%. Its three-month annualized employment growth rate of 19.2% is also the highest among Virginia’s four HC&SA subsectors. Ambulatory Health Care Services are enjoying strong short-term employment growth as well. In November, this HC&SA subsector created 1,000 new jobs, which translates into a 6.7% annualized employment growth rate. With this gain, Ambulatory Health Care Services have now increased employment in each of the past three months. On the other hand, Hospitals experienced a small employment decline in November with the loss of 100 jobs during the month. As for Nursing & Residential Care Facilities, this HC&SA subsector experienced no change in employment during the month.

Additional employment highlights by HC&SA subsector are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Subsector Nov. 2019 Nov. 2020 YOY Growth Total HC&SA 463.6 436.0 -6.0% Ambulatory Health Care 190.7 186.3 -2.3% Hospitals 108.4 106.0 -2.2% Nursing & Residential Care 78.4 71.4 -8.9% Social Assistance 86.1 72.3 -16.0%

The Bears still lead the best-of-5 series 2-1, and get another crack to advance to the Korean Series on Friday, at 4:30 am EST.  KBO Playoff Odds: Game 4 Team Moneyline Runline Over/Under Run Total Game Time (Eastern) KT Wiz Suwon -104 -1.5 (+146) Over 9.5 (-122) 4:30 a.m. Doosan Bears -118 +1.5 (-190) Under 9.5 (-106) Odds as of Nov. 12th at FanDuel. The defending champs opened as a small moneyline favorite, in a game that features an over/under of 9.5. The total for Game 4 seems a shade low, despite the under hitting in each of the series first three games. That’s because unlike the previous games, neither team is trotting out one of their elite arms. 2021 World Series Odds Tracker Read More KT Wiz Owns Hui Kwan Yu Doosan starter Hui Kwan Yu just wrapped up one of his worst seasons ever in the KBO.

The KT Wiz bats have performed well against left-handers all season, and with their season on the line I’m willing to bet they hit Yu hard once again. Doosan Bats Bounce Back After racking up a postseason-low four hits on Thursday, the Bears bats will be looking to bounce back in Game 4. Doosan, who ranked top-three in almost every key offensive category in 2020, has been relatively quiet at the plate all postseason, scoring more than four runs in only one of five contests.

He struck out just seven more batters than he walked over 141.1 innings, and was not sharp in his lone start versus Doosan. Back in September, he allowed four runs and six hits to the Bears en route to an 8-0 defeat. Over and Out It’s slightly concerning that each of the first three games of the series have stayed under the total, but these offenses are too strong to contain forever. Neither one of the starting pitchers is likely to neutralize the opposing team’s lineup, and if the defending champs want to avoid a win or go home scenario in Game 5, they’ll need the bats to step up on Friday.

8 surprising stats for Nick Mullens’ 49ers and 5 tragic ones for the Raiders

Nick Mullens shined in his NFL debut as he led the 49ers to a big win over the Raiders. Meanwhile, the Raiders might actually be getting worse with each passing week.

About three hours prior to the Thursday Night Football matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Oakland Raiders, it was announced that C.J. Beathard would not be able to play and Nick Mullens would get his first NFL start for the 49ers at quarterback. The undrafted second-year player started the year on the 49ers’ practice squad, but after Jimmy Garoppolo’s ACL tear and Beathard’s hand injury, he was thrust into the primetime spotlight.

Let’s take a by the numbers look at an exciting 34-3 win for the 49ers and their young quarterback and an ugly loss for the Raiders.

49ers by the numbers

2-7: The 49ers won their second game of the year! The first came in Week 2 with Garoppolo at quarterback and it wasn’t until Week 9 that the 49ers got to win No. 2 with Mullens. Meanwhile, the Raiders are a sad 1-7.

75: In his first-ever NFL regular-season start, Mullens orchestrated a six-play, 75 yard touchdown drive to start the game. His first throw was an 11 yard pass to Marquise Goodwin, and the drive was capped off with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon. It was the first of many impressive drives for Mullens on the night.

7: Passes it took before Mullens threw his first incompletion. He was six of six to start the game.

141.1: Mullens finished the first half with a remarkable passer rating. He completed 12 of 17 passing attempts for 167 yards, and two touchdowns through two quarters. Meanwhile, Derek Carr was 11 of 15 for 116 yards and a 95.4 passer rating in the first half. Who’s the undrafted player in his first start and who’s the quarterback on a $125 million contract?

71: After San Francisco fumbled and recovered the ball on the first play of the second half, Mullens threw an amazing 71-yard pass to George Kittle (which he caught with one hand) and then threw the tight end a five-yard touchdown pass two plays later.

3: The number of touchdown passes Mullens threw in the 49ers’ win, which is the same number of touchdown passes the Bills have this season.

151.9: Somehow, Mullens would improve upon his first-half passer rating and finished the game just a few points shy of a perfect rating. The former Southern Mississippi quarterback finished the game 16 of 22 passing for 262 yards and three touchdowns. And, a couple of those incompletions were drops from his receivers.

Raiders by the numbers

3: The number of points and punts for the Raiders in the first half.

1: Scoring drives for the Raiders, who scored a field goal on their opening possession and then went on to punt six times, take a knee to end the half, turn the ball over on downs once, and miss a field goal.

2: The number of quarterbacks who played on Thursday for the Raiders. Oakland had backup AJ McCarron enter the game with 11:45 remaining in the fourth quarter. He wouldn’t do anything of note, completing just one pass for eight yards on three attempts.

14.4: The combined passer ratings of Carr (95.1) and McCarron (42.4) was 137.5, 14.4 less than that of Mullens’ passer rating.

20: The Raiders had 20 less total net yards (242) than Mullens had passing yards (262).

34-3: The final score in a memorable debut for Mullens and another sad chapter in the Raiders’ first season under head coach Jon Gruden.

DotF: Albert Abreu begins winter ball assignment

The Perfectly Cromulent Backup Catcher [2018 Season Review]

? The 2018 Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Games will be played this Saturday and yes, it will be televised. MLB Network and MLB.com will have the broadcast live at 8pm ET. Hooray for real live baseball. Here are some minor league notes before we get to the winter ball updates.

Here are the Fall Stars Game rosters: East and West. OF Estevan Florial will represent the Yankees, though IF Thairo Estrada was on the Final 2 ballot and the winner hasn’t been announced yet. (Sorry I didn’t pass along the link sooner. My bad.) The Fall Stars Game is more of top prospects showcase than an All-Star Game that rewards performance. It’s the biggest names.

Randy Miller spoke to a scout about all the players the Yankees have in the AzFL. “If Florial was in this year’s draft, he probably would have gone in the first five picks. He’ll figure it out. The good ones figure it out, and he’s a good one,” said the scout.

Rob Terranova has an article on RHP Matt Wivinis. “Everything he throws is above average. The spin rate he gets on all his pitches is off the charts — in particular his breaking stuff. That’s why he gets a ton of swings and misses. And he’s got two different fastballs that have a lot of life,” said Yankees pitching coordinator Danny Borrell.

I haven’t listened to it yet myself, but Baseball America posted a Yankees farm system podcast today, so check that out.

Arizona Fall League

IF Thairo Estrada: 12 G, 14-for-52 (.269), 7 R, 1 2B, 5 RBI, 3 BB, 10 K, 1 CS, 1 HBP (.269/.321/.288) — he is 8-for-19 (.421) in his last four games following a slow start

OF Estevan Florial: 14 G, 8-for-49 (.163), 6 R, 2 2B, 2 3B, 7 RBI, 7 BB, 19 K, 1 SB, 1 CS (.163/.268/.286) — he is 5-for-14 (.357) in his last four games

1B Steven Sensley: 13 G, 11-for-49 (.224), 4 R, 3 2B, 6 RBI, 2 BB, 14 K, 1 HBP (.224/.269/.286)

RHP Jordan Foley: 4 G, 4 GS, 8.1 IP, 11 H, 13 R, 13 ER, 8 BB, 14 K, 1 HR, 1 HB (14.04 ERA and 2.28 WHIP)

RHP Hobie Harris: 5 G, 9 IP, 11 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 4 BB, 7 K (5.00 ERA and 1.67 WHIP) — had a strong regular season at three levels and is Rule 5 Draft eligible this winter, though he’s not really doing himself any favors in the AzFL

RHP Matt Wivinis: 7 G, 9.1 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 BB, 11 K, 1 HBP (0.96 ERA and 1.07 WHIP)

RHP Kyle Zurak: 5 G, 4.2 IP, 10 H, 11 R, 9 ER, 7 BB, 2 K, 1 HR (17.36 ERA and 3.64 WHIP) — terrible AzFL showing so far, but it wouldn’t surprise me if last year’s eighth rounder is the next out of nowhere relief prospect in the system … good fastball, good breaking ball, etc.

Dominican Winter League

RHP Albert Abreu: 1 G, 1 GS, 2.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K (0.00 ERA and 1.50 WHIP) — that’s him on the mound in the video at the top of the post … very happy to see Abreu pitching in winter ball after injuries limited him to 72.2 innings this season … he has to make up for lost time and plus it just shows he’s healthy … hopefully Abreu can rattle off a few good starts down here before shutting it down for the winter

LHP Nestor Cortes: 4 G, 4 GS, 21.2 IP, 10 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 29 K, 1 HR (1.25 ERA and 0.69 WHIP) — Nasty Nestor is up to 141.1 innings this season … his previous career high was 106 innings in 2016

RHP Carlos Espinal: 3 G, 3.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K (7.36 ERA and 1.91 WHIP)

RHP Raynel Espinal: 3 G, 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HB (0.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP) — he’s Rule 5 Draft eligible this offseason and, after back-to-back strong bullpen seasons, I could see a team rolling the dice a la RHP Anyelo Gomez last year (Gomez was eventually returned)

RHP Adonis Rosa: 2 G, 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 1 K (0.00 ERA and 1.25 WHIP)

OF Wendell Rijo is listed on a roster but has not yet appeared in a game.

Mexican Pacific League

1B Ryan McBroom: 14 G, 13-for-50 (.260), 5 R, 4 2B, 1 HR, 10 RBI, 5 BB, 12 K, 2 SB, 1 HBP (.260/.328/.400)

Venezuelan Winter League

IF Angel Aguilar: 8 G, 8-for-19 (.421), 2 R, 2 2B, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 SB (.421/.450/.526)

C Francisco Diaz: 10 G, 9-for-31 (.290), 4 R, 3 RBI, 5 BB, 2 K (.290/.378/.290)

IF Wilkerman Garcia: 6 G, 6-for-16 (.375), 2 R, 1 HR, 5 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K (.375/.412/.563) — there’s not much prospect value here anymore, but at least a good winter ball showing would help his confidence, I’d think

RHP Daniel Alvarez: 3 G, 2.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, 1 HR (10.13 ERA and 3.00 ERA)

RHP Anderson Munoz: 3 G, 4.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K (6.23 ERA and 1.15 WHIP)

IF Diego Castillo, RHP Yoiber Marquina, and RHP Edward Paredes are listed on rosters but have yet to appear in a game.

The Roberto Clemente Professional Baseball League (Puerto Rico) season begins November 15th. The rosters have not yet been released.

Closing Time: The case for Kyle Gibson

Kyle Gibson is looking good in the second half (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner)

If you look at Kyle Gibson’s seasonal stats, it’s easy to dismiss him out of hand. A 4.97 ERA, yuck. A 1.56 WHIP, no thank you. And with a mere 101 strikeouts in 141.1 innings, he clearly doesn’t miss enough bats.

But then you consider his success in the second half, specifically his dominant run over the last month, and you start to talk yourself into a story. Stick with us a minute.

The 29-year-old Minnesota RHP has a playable 3.27 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in the second half. He’s been especially sharp over the last month, with four wins, 29 strikeouts, a 1.96 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP; that makes Gibson the No. 14 roto starter over that period. He’s earned the second-half success, pushing his strikeout rate to 7.5/9 and cutting his walks in half. And FIP suggests a 3.04 ERA for this period; that’s validation.

[Enter the $150K Baller football contest. $10 to play and $15K to 1st place]

Gibson’s been a tease over the years because we know what’s possible; there’s obvious talent here, yet his career ERA is 4.67. He was a first-round draft choice in 2009, and he showed up on the main prospect clipboards in 2010, 2011 and 2013 (peaking at No. 34 for Baseball America, and No. 49 for MLB.com). He induces plenty of ground-ball contact. And if you trust defensive metrics, the Twins are a better-than-average fielding club (much appreciated, Byron Buxton).

Gibson’s trading at 25 percent in Yahoo leagues. That modest number probably reflects a few skittish owners, burned in the past. We also know roto engagement tends to fall off in September, at least among non-contenders.

If you want to kick some tires — even if it’s merely for streaming purposes — Gibson should be favored to beat Toronto on Sunday, and the following start at Detroit doesn’t look threatening, either. Given his current form and his past pedigree, I’m inclined to take a shot.

• Philadelphia rookie Ben Lively is another pitcher drawing some attention from the weekend streamer crowd — he faces Oakland on Saturday. I suppose that 3.86 ERA looks pretty good, along with three straight quality starts. Lively is the most added starting pitcher in Yahoo since the calendar flipped to Friday. But when you dig under the hood, it’s hard to take the ERA at face value.

Lively’s been a pitch-to-contact story all the way, with just 5.4 K/9 against 2.7 BB/9. The K/BB ratio is just over two — not acceptable in my world — and that strikeout rate is puny. Some fortune with the hit and strand rate have cushioned the blow for Lively — FIP suggests his true ERA should be 4.64, and if you normalize his HR/FB rate, xFIP spits out a 5.55 number. Scary monsters.

One other word of caution — Lively hasn’t figured out how to succeed at home. Most of his starts and successes have come on the road, including his last three tidy starts, but he’s carrying a 4.91 ERA at Citizens Bank Park, allowing six homers over 22 innings. Let someone else buy a ticket for this ride.

• Is the light starting to go on for touted White Sox prospect Yoan Moncada? He couldn’t do anything right at the front of his Chicago trial (a .105/.261/.263 slash in July), but it’s been steady improvement since then. And he’s still widely available in Yahoo leagues (30 percent owned).

Perhaps you didn’t notice the improvement in August, since Moncada batted a mere .238. But he drew 13 walks and maintained a .368 OBP, and his slugging climbed over .400. And now he’s on a 13-for-39 binge this month, with two homers, a steal, and a juicy .961 OPS. His best game of the year came Thursday, with a ridiculous five runs, four hits, a homer, and a steal. A change in bat selection seems to agree with him.

I was smiling at work looking at my phone and a co-worker said “must be talking to your girlfriend.”

I was looking at Yoan Moncada’s stats

— Corey Diab (@coreyeldiablo) September 14, 2017

Keep in mind Moncada isn’t someone who snuck onto the prospect rankings — we’re talking about a Top 5 prospect here. As pleased as the Red Sox were with the Chris Sale trade, the White Sox are pretty excited, too.

Moncada’s been locked into the No. 2 slot in the order over the last two weeks, and that’s a good place to be. The White Sox are the third-highest scoring team in September. The two players most commonly flanking Moncada — Tim Anderson and Jose Abreu — are clobbering the ball right now, too. The Pale Hose threw 11 runs at the Royals on Monday, and had a 17-7 laugher at Detroit on Thursday. The White Sox have been rebuilt for the future, but we’re getting a sneak preview down the stretch.

Clayton Kershaw says no timetable yet for his return

Clayton Kershaw is eager to return to action for the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the ace says there is no timetable yet for his recovery.

The southpaw left his start for the Dodgers on Sunday after tweaking his back. An initial report said he could miss four to six weeks. Kershaw isn’t setting expectations for his return yet.

Clayton Kershaw said there's "not much" to say about status of his back injury. "Just trying to get back quick." Insisted no timetable

— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) July 27, 2017

The good news is an MRI showed that that his disc was not the issue.

Kershaw admitted it was "big relief" when MRI showed disc was not an issue with this injury. "Definitely not as painful this year."

— Bill Plunkett (@billplunkettocr) July 27, 2017

Kershaw slapped away any questions about a timetable for his return but did say "I’d definitely like a few (starts) before October"
