Paid care assistants would no longer be entitled to overtime and minimum wage

The federal government is considering a rollback of labor protections for home care workers that could result in lower pay and make it more difficult for families to access home- and community-based services for their aging loved ones.

AARP is urging officials to revisit the proposal, saying it could exacerbate the caregiver shortage and undermine the economic security of these workers, whom older adults and their families often rely on for day-to-day care, wrote Jennifer Jones, AARP’s vice president of financial security and livable communities, in a comment on the proposal.

Now what is going to happen, two things. Shortage of paid care assistants & all the good ones will be leaving this career field. What is wrong with the Federal Government???  😤
