This resolution recognizes the vital roles and contributions of care workers, including childcare providers and direct care professionals, in the United States, and expresses strong support for designating April 2026 as "Care Worker Recognition Month" to honor their essential services. These workers are crucial for fostering children's development and enabling older adults and people with disabilities to live independently, thereby supporting family caregivers' participation in the workforce and contributing significantly to economic growth. Despite their indispensable work, care workers often face substandard wages and poor working conditions, leading to high turnover and significant rates of poverty and food insecurity. With the aging population driving a rapidly increasing demand for home and community-based care, this sector is projected to create over 700,000 new jobs by 2034. Investing in care infrastructure is therefore essential to address staffing shortages, boost productivity, and ensure a stable workforce. Such investments also provide substantial cost savings compared to institutional care, ultimately promoting a more robust economy and better quality of life for care recipients. The resolution thanks and promotes the profession of care workers, acknowledging their high-value work and advocating for better recognition and support for this indispensable sector.
