[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elder care? Could be affected by Medicaid cuts but the demand for the services will always be there. [b]Chronically understaffed[/b] and the squeeze on immigrants is making labor shortages even worse. Not glamorous, [b]not well paying[/b] but would serve a critical need in our society.[/quote]

There is a correlation between these 2 things and I don’t think laid off feds are going to flock to the eldercare profession.

First, many feds who are taking the voluntary buyouts are older themselves. I don’t see a bunch of 60 year olds signing up to take care of 80 year olds.

Second, younger feds, the cost of childcare is crushing. I’m guessing whatever an eldercare job pays would be swallowed up by what I pay for childcare for 3 kids.

There is a very small subgroup of people who may consider moving into an eldercare job, but the low pay is going to be a deterrent. Especially if Medicaid is no longer going to reimburse.

Sorry boomers, but no one is going to want to take care of you for peanuts. You’re about to get what you voted for.[/quote]
