October 1, 2012
This chart book provides a state-by-state look at trends in wages for personal care aides (PCAs), the fourth fastest-growing occupation in the U.S., and a key job title within the direct care workforce. Prepared as a resource guide on wages for advocates and policymakers concerned with the direct care workforce, the data underscore the problem of low wages for PCAs, factors which contribute to workforce instability and near-poverty incomes for this high-demand workforce.
