The New York Times reported on PHI's recent research on the aging of the direct-care workforce.

In the article, the Times' John Leland reported PHI's projection that nearly 30 percent of the direct-care workforce will be age 55 or more by 2018.

Elsewhere in the article, Dorie Seavey, PHI research policy director, argues that there are a lack of career advancement opportunities for direct-care workers, and suggests that older workers could be an asset for training new workers.
