What's behind the shortage of direct support professionals

Season 2023 Episode 365 | 10m 18s

The nearly five million direct care workers who support older adults and people with disabilities are the largest workforce in the U.S. But despite high demand, many are paid little more than minimum wage. A longstanding workforce shortage means people with disabilities who depend on those workers are left without the support they need. Judy Woodruff reports for our series, Disability Reframed.
