Abstract

Across the United States, consumers are now desperate to find homecare workers. This article addresses why it is increasingly difficult to find available, competent workers and the conditions under which many workers are employed in today's homecare market. In addition, it provides an explanation of several mechanisms that are being used to mediate the needs and desires of workers and consumers.
