Caregivers discussed challenges at today’s summit. Low wages, lack of paid time off, burnout and lack of personal protective equipment are just a few of the challenges. “I have to work a minimum of 80 hours a week just to pay my bills,” one caregiver told policymakers. #waleg

Low wages for direct care workers are a major challenge for the long-term care industry. Home health aides made about $35,500 in 2022, the Workforce Board's Chris Dula explains. That’s less than half of Washington’s per capita earnings of $75,300 that same year. #waleg
