The metric: Average agency caregiver growth since June 2024

How we measure it: For each agency in our data set, we look at how the number of caregivers has increased or decreased since June 2024. We then average that rate of change across all agencies and look at it on a monthly basis.

Why we measure it: We think it’s important to understand caregiver growth trends to assess the overall health of the workforce and identify periods of expansion or decline. Tracking this metric helps agencies and industry leaders recognize where and when growth is happening, identify potential challenges in caregiver recruitment and retention, and develop strategies to sustain a stable and growing caregiver workforce.

💡This month’s takeaway: On average, we’ve seen a 0.8% decrease in caregivers across the industry since June of 2024. While there was initially an increase in caregivers in July 2024, we’ve seen an average 1.7% decrease in caregivers since then.
