Wisconsin leaders say immigration policy worsens caregiver shortage
Original: Federal immigration policy may be worsening Wisconsin’s caregiver shortage, leaders say
Community leaders in Wisconsin say federal immigration policy is making it harder to fill caregiver jobs across the state, where shortages in long-term care and home health work were already severe. Restricted legal immigration pathways are limiting the pipeline of foreign-born workers who have historically staffed these roles, prompting local officials to urge policy changes.
Why now: Wisconsin's growing elderly population and chronic caregiver shortage have made immigration policy a pressing local workforce issue
