As a key pillar of her anti-poverty agenda, Mayor Lightfoot launched the Your Home is Someone’s Workplace campaign to elevate care workers (e.g. house cleaners, nannies, and home healthcare aides) as working professionals deserving of better working conditions, dignity and respect. The mayor’s anti-poverty agenda – which includes growing quality jobs, improving people’s income, building wealth and closing racial health disparities – the campaign serves as a call to action to employers of care workers to commit to four actions: 1) pay a fair, living wage; 2) provide paid time off; 3) have written expectations that are clear and mutually agreed upon; and 4) maintain safe workplaces.  There are over 56,000 care workers in the Chicagoland area who are predominantly women of color and immigrants. Though they are covered by the City’s Minimum Wage Ordinance and must be paid at least $13.50 per hour as of July 1, 2020, many care workers historically are paid below minimum wage. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, home healthcare aides is the fastest growing industry nationally – expected to grow by 208 percent by 2028.  Through the Your Home is Someone’s Workplace campaign, employers and care workers can find information, resources, and guidelines on creating safe workplaces at chi.gov/care.
