Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute. (2009, July). Illinois’ Direct-Care Workforce: State Facts. Bronx, NY: Author.

Abstract

This fact sheet gives an overview of the direct-care workforce in Illinois. Using data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, it shows that the number of direct-care jobs in Illinois is expected to increase 40 percent between the years 2006 and 2016. However, wages for direct-care workers have failed to keep pace with the median hourly wage for all jobs in the state. Direct-care workers in Illinois also receive inadequate health coverage (abstract from:
