MAKING SEN$E - Home Care (Part 1)

"Why does one of the most needed jobs pay so poorly?" PBS NewsHour 7/26/2018

ANSWER:  Republicans don't think old people are worth spending money on.

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  With about 10,000 baby boomers retiring every single day, home care is one of the fastest growing, most needed occupations in America.  But there's a problem: The current median pay is just $10.49 per hour.  Economics correspondent Paul Solman reports on why these vital workers get paid so little.
