Investing in Home Care and Early Childhood Educators Has Outsize Impacts on Employment (Marina Zhavoronkova and Rose Khattar, Center for American Progress)

October 9, 2021

Home care workers and early childhood educators are a critical—and sizable—part of the American labor market. Almost 3.2 million Americans—overwhelmingly women, and disproportionately women of color—are employed in home health and early childhood occupations, making up a significant portion of the overall workforce. And they are not just any workers: They provide essential services to seniors, people with disabilities, and young children in day care and preschool settings. They enable parents, family caregivers, and disabled individuals to meet their employment goals. The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare how important these workers are to Americans and the economy.
