Project Description
Despite the substantial number of people employed in the long-term care industry, little was known as to where the LTC industry draws its supply of workers and the pathway by which workers enter the industry. This project analyzed job mobility of long-term care workers, and the characteristics of those who enter and exit LTC jobs. The analysis identified the occupations and industries from which long-term care workers are drawn, and the fields that workers enter if they leave LTC.
This study was conducted in partnership with the George Washington University Health Workforce Research Center.
Key Objectives
This project aims to answer these questions:
- What are the demographic and socioeconomic profile of entrants into LTC occupations and settings?
- From which industries and occupations does LTC draw workers?
- What is the demographic profile of people who leave LTC jobs?
- To which industries and occupations do LTC workers go upon leaving LTC?
- For those who stay in the LTC industry, do they change occupations?
