It is estimated seventy to eightypercent of the hands-on assistance to individuals with long-term and personal assistanceneeds are provided by direct care workers. Direct care workers include the following:nursing aides, home health aides, and personal care aides.

They also projected by 2025 the number of Medicare recipients will reach69.3 million and represent 20.6% of the U.S. population.An increasing aging population will have more medical conditions which will require anincrease in health care professionals. Research demonstrates a growing shortage of nurseaides both nationally and state-wide. The NC Long-Term Occupational Projections for2006-2016 ranked hospitals and nursing/residential care facilities as top industries withgrowing employment. As a state, they estimate we have 6,500 nurse aide vacanciesannually.Personal care aides and home health aides are projected to be the fastest-growingoccupations in the country between 2010 and 2020, increasing seventy-one percent andsixty-nine percent, respectively. Nursing aides, orderlies and attendants are expected toincrease by twenty percent.
