The American workforce runs on family caregivers.
#CGUS data shows:
➡️ 1 in 4 Americans provides care.
➡️ 70% of caregivers work, yet 53% are hourly with little paid leave.
We need #PaidLeave now. No one should choose between a paycheck and family.
#NationalWorkAndFamilyMonth

Half report going in late, leaving early, or taking time off to provide care. Source: NAC and AARP, Caregiving in the US 2025." Image of the National Alliance for Caregiving logo is at the bottom.

With no national right to paid sick time or paid family and medical leave, too many women with health and caregiving needs are forced to take devastating pay cuts during life's most important moments. We need paid leave for all! #EqualPayDay

Equal pay would be life-changing for caregivers, many of whom are women of color.
"For the first time in 20 years, the gender wage gap has widened, with women paid 83 cents for every dollar that men make in 2023.” #EqualPayDay
ALT Graphic by Caring Across Generations highlighting Equal Pay Day. The poster states 'Today is Equal Pay Day', explaining it marks how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned the previous year. Features an illustration of coins and clocks, emphasizing that for every dollar a man earns, a woman earns only 83 cents. Includes a note that the disparity is greater for women of color.

No matter the job—nurses, financial managers, cashiers—women working full-time earn less than men per week. In 2024, women out-earned men in just 2 out of 131 occupations. The wage gap is real, and it’s everywhere. Read more: iwpr.org/occupational-wage-g…

An @ABC news story highlights the challenges family caregivers face reinforcing NACs research. From Ty Lewis, who joined 100+ advocates at our Caregiver Nation Summit, to Brandon Will’s journey, these stories show why protecting Medicaid is critical. shorturl.at/qBJaQ

New Policy Brief! Medicaid is the primary source of support for millions of family caregivers, helping loved ones remain in their homes instead of institutions.

FMLA turns 32 this week. It’s been used 500 million times, but the U.S. still lags behind as one of 6 countries in the world that does not have a guaranteed, comprehensive paid family leave program nationally. #PaidLeaveForAll nationalpartnership.org/repo…

Medicaid keeps low-income veterans from becoming uninsured, and honors veterans who have complex health needs with consistent access to affordable care. Adults with disabilities receive support through Medicaid to cover health care costs (which are not covered by Social Security) so that they may work, attend school and live in their communities. #MedicaidMatters
