Care Work Crisis
The article discusses the worsening shortage of care workers in the United States, driven by low wages, increasing demand due to an aging population, and deportation policies targeting immigrant workers, particularly Haitians. It highlights how government funding for care services is barely sufficient, and recent immigration crackdowns, including ending protections like Temporary Protected Status, are further reducing the workforce. The loss of immigrant care workers threatens the quality and availability of hospice, disability support, and long-term care services. Experts emphasize the need for substantial investment in caregiving and immigration reform to address these shortages.
