Four times as many Americans are out of work taking care of adult family members than those who left work to take care of their children during the pandemic. Courtney Russell left her job during the early months of the pandemic to take care of her husband after his cancer returned. He needed a bone-marrow transplant and chemotherapy. She says it could be years before she considers looking for work again. Russell, who worked two decades in retail says, "I thrived in my job and to be honest, I don’t do well when I’m not working. But ultimately his health comes first."
At a time when job openings outnumber potential workers, caregiving is the second-largest factor keeping people out of work. This mismatch is contributing to labor shortages around the country and playing a role in overall inflation.
