Making a Career of Caring for Others<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each year, on the third Friday of February, we celebrate National Caregivers Day. Caregivers provide a range of services for different populations, including many who help people live their best lives.<\/p>\n

By 2030, more than 1 in 5 people<\/a> in the United States are expected to be ages 65 and older, and nearly 70%<\/a> of all adults who reach age 65 will eventually require some type of long-term services and supports. As the need for long-term care services grows, so too will demand for the many occupations that provide these services.<\/p>\n

We recognize that many caregivers in the U.S. are unpaid friends or family members. But here\u2019s a look at several growing caregiver occupations that are employed in the home health care services industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These seven occupations held a total of 9.3 million jobs in 2021 and are projected to add 1.3 million by 2031. Of those 9.3 million jobs, nearly 1.3 million were in the home health care services industry in 2021. And over the 2021\u201331 decade, these caregiving occupations are projected to add 276,000 new jobs in the home health care services industry. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Total employment for most of these occupations is projected to grow faster than the 5.3% growth projected for all occupations from 2021 to 2031. The education typically required for entry ranges from a high school diploma to an advanced degree. Additionally, most had a median annual wage higher than the $45,760 median wage for all occupations in 2021.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in making a career of helping others, one of these occupations might be right for you!<\/p>\n

Haciendo Profesi\u00f3n Cuidando al Pr\u00f3jimo<\/h2>\n

Por: Dustin Riles, Emily Rolen<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

El tercer viernes de febrero de cada a\u00f1o celebramos el D\u00eda Nacional de los Cuidadores. Estos trabajadores brindan una gran variedad de servicios a diferentes grupos poblacionales, incluidos muchos servicios que ayudan a que las personas tengan su mejor calidad de vida.<\/p>\n

Para 2030, se espera que m\u00e1s de 1 de cada 5 personas<\/a> en Estados Unidos tenga 65 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s, y casi el 70%<\/a> de todos los adultos que alcanzan los 65 a\u00f1os eventualmente necesitar\u00e1n alg\u00fan tipo de servicio y apoyo a largo plazo. A medida que crece la necesidad de servicios de atenci\u00f3n a largo plazo, tambi\u00e9n lo har\u00e1 la demanda de muchas de las ocupaciones que ofrecen estos servicios.<\/p>\n

Sabemos que muchos cuidadores en EE.UU. son amigos o familiares que no reciben remuneraci\u00f3n. No obstante, les vamos a mostrar seguidamente varias ocupaciones al alza de cuidadores empleados en el sector de los servicios de atenci\u00f3n a la salud en el hogar.<\/a><\/p>\n

Estas siete ocupaciones totalizaron 9,3 millones de puestos de trabajo en el 2021 y se prev\u00e9 que sumen 1,3 millones m\u00e1s al 2031. De esos 9,3 millones de puestos de trabajo, en 2021 casi 1,3 millones correspond\u00edan al sector de servicios de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica en el hogar. Se prev\u00e9 que estas ocupaciones de cuidados m\u00e9dicos en el hogar agreguen 276,000 nuevos puestos de trabajo en la d\u00e9cada 2021-31.<\/p>\n

Se prev\u00e9 que el empleo total para la mayor\u00eda de estas ocupaciones crezca m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que el incremento del 5,3 % proyectado para todas las ocupaciones entre el 2021 y el 2031. Los requisitos educacionales que normalmente se necesitan para acceder a estos empleos var\u00edan desde un diploma de escuela secundaria hasta un t\u00edtulo de estudios avanzados. Adem\u00e1s, en el 2021 la mayor\u00eda de los cuidadores ganaba un salario medio anual superior al promedio de $45,760 entre todas las ocupaciones.<\/p>\n

Si est\u00e1 interesado en hacer carrera ayudando a otros, una de estas ocupaciones podr\u00eda ser la adecuada para usted.<\/p>\n
