How one Chicagoan is struggling to hire care workers amid immigration fears
Published 8 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Almost half of all home health care aides are immigrants.
As the Trump administration continues its mass deportation campaign, Chicago area care agencies say they have immigrant employees who are afraid to go to work.
For people who rely on that care, it’s getting harder to find workers to come to their home.
WBEZ’s Esther Yoon-Ji Kang has the story of one Chicagoan with a disability who is struggling to get the help she needs.
