Family Caregivers Provide $1 Trillion In Annual Labor, AARP Says

Summary: Family caregivers in the U.S. provide a massive $1 trillion in unpaid work every year. About 59 million Americans spend an average of 27 hours a week helping loved ones with daily needs, from housework to high-intensity medical care like giving injections. Because of this heavy load, many people are forced to leave their careers, creating a huge shortage of workers for employers. AARP is pushing for better support, like tax credits, to help these everyday heroes who sacrifice their own health and money to care for others.
