  • The Value of the Care Economy - Who's Caring for the Carers?

    The Value of the Care Economy - Who's Caring for the Carers?
    Oct 27 2022
    Key findings from the most recent Case for Inclusion report show that, “nationally, the average DSP (Direct Support Professional) turnover rate in 2020 increased by about one percentage point to 43.6 percent. Meanwhile, vacancy rates for full time direct support professionals increased from 8.5% in 2019 to 12.3% in 2020, a roughly 45% increase.” While DSPs represent only a small portion of the overall care economy, a nearly 44% turnover rate coupled with rising vacancy rates, they exemplify the current crisis we are facing. For over 30 years, our guest today, Greg Miller, CEO of Penn-Mar Human Services, has been advocating for a shift in our overall perspective on how this segment of the workforce is valued and supported.
