In this podcast, PHI national policy director Steven Edelstein discusses how direct-care jobs are uniquely positioned to help repair and stabilize America’s faltering economy. Edelstein’s statements build on a PHI issue brief called Direct-Care Jobs & Long-Term Care: Untapped Engine for Job Creation & Economic Growth.
This podcast was produced through the Fairness Initiative on Low-Wage Work.
I think this approach is very commendable and a way to “stimulate” the economy while improving quality of lives for the direct and the indirect recipients of the wage increase.
