Important @CatherineRamell article in @washingtonpost on the care economy. Further evidence that as Ai-jen Poo says, "Care is the work that all other work depends on. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Opinion | Care work is in crisis. That’s a disaster for the rest of the economy.

The industry that's struggled most to bounce back is the one the rest of the economy relies on.

Worth reading: Jacqueline Revere's caregiving and dementia op/ed in @latimes latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Contributor: At 29, I wasn't prepared to be a caregiver. Life had other plans

I was filled with guilt and resentment for what I had to take on. But over time, a community of caregivers helped me find fulfillment.
