LAS VEGAS, Jan. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of almost 300 home care workers employed by Consumer Direct throughout Nevada just won a union contract with wages of $17 an hour, which will help recruit and retain the workforce to provide quality care for the state's rapidly aging population and people with disabilities. Average wages for Nevada's 13,000 home care workers had been stuck at around $11 an hour for over a decade, creating a crisis-level workforce shortage. On January 1, the state's $16 minimum wage was implemented for home care workers and caregivers have been advocating for employers to go above the bare minimum in union contract negotiations. This is the first time in history that Nevada home care workers have achieved a contract with a $17 wage.

Key Points:

This is the first time in history that Nevada home care workers have achieved a contract with a $17 wage.
They vow to continue pressing forward in their remaining contract negotiations, organizing non-union workers, and holding elected officials accountable for improving jobs and care.
SEIU Nevada Local 1107 is the largest healthcare and public service union in the state, representing over 20,000 workers.
Together, SEIU 1107 members fight for good union jobs, quality services and a better quality of life for all working Nevadans.

As Inflation Lingers, Homeowners Are Paying Closer Attention to Their Rising Home Equity but Not Tapping into It

Retrieved on:

木曜日, 10月 13, 2022

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent survey from TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank® found that 87% of respondents indicated an increase in equity since purchasing their home, but far fewer are planning to tap into this potential source of funds in the next 18 months.

Key Points:

With inflation reaching a 40-year high during the summer, 70% of respondents still consider themselves very or somewhat financially stable.
But with continued economic and market volatility, many Americans are exploring ways to cut unnecessary expenses and pay down any high-interest debts.
Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and home equity loans can be a relatively low interest way to access equity built from owning a home.
This could indicate a gap in understanding the benefits of tapping into home equity.
