I just saw on JS Firm, a compamy with 22 posts for EMS jobs. Does this mean the industry is finally booming? At least for high-time pilots?

You are referring to Air Evac Lifeteam most likely. They are the second largest EMS helicopter operator in the country and they always have 15 - 20+ openings at bases all over the US. Always have.
