US care workers squeezed by inflation: 'gas and food is out of the roof'

Key points

मुख्य बातें

  • Home caregiver Sonya Hall earns $18.75 an hour, about half the average US hourly wage, looking after two elderly women, doing their shopping, laundry, cleaning and bathing help.
  • Many care workers cannot live on one job alone, face uneven hours and heavy demands, and spend much of their pay on fuel to reach clients.
  • Overall prices are up more than 20% since 2021, unavoidable costs are up nearly 30% in five years, and gasoline prices have jumped sharply.
  • گھر میں نگہداشت کرنے والی سونیا ہال 18.75 ڈالر فی گھنٹہ کماتی ہیں، جو امریکہ کی اوسط فی گھنٹہ اجرت سے تقریباً آدھی ہے، اور وہ دو بزرگ خواتین کی خریداری، کپڑے دھونے، صفائی اور نہانے میں مدد کرتی ہیں۔ بہت سے نگہداشت کارکن صرف ایک ملازمت سے گزارا نہیں کر سکتے، ان کے اوقات غیر یقینی اور کام بھاری ہوتا ہے، اور کلائنٹ تک پہنچنے کے لیے ایندھن پر ان کی آمدنی کا بڑا حصہ خرچ ہو جاتا ہے۔ 2021 سے مجموعی قیمتیں 20 فیصد سے زیادہ بڑھ چکی ہیں، ناگزیر اخراجات پانچ سال میں تقریباً 30 فیصد بڑھے ہیں، اور پٹرول کی قیمت میں تیزی سے اضافہ ہوا ہے۔
  • घर में देखभाल करने वाली सोन्या हॉल 18.75 डॉलर प्रति घंटा कमाती हैं, जो अमेरिका की औसत प्रति घंटा मज़दूरी से लगभग आधी है, और वे दो बुज़ुर्ग महिलाओं की खरीदारी, कपड़े धोने, सफाई और नहाने में मदद करती हैं। कई देखभाल कर्मी केवल एक नौकरी से गुज़ारा नहीं कर सकते, उनके काम के घंटे अनिश्चित और काम भारी होता है, और ग्राहकों तक पहुँचने के लिए ईंधन पर उनकी आय का बड़ा हिस्सा खर्च हो जाता है। 2021 से कुल कीमतें 20 प्रतिशत से ज़्यादा बढ़ चुकी हैं, ज़रूरी खर्च पाँच साल में लगभग 30 प्रतिशत बढ़े हैं, और पेट्रोल की कीमत में तेज़ी से बढ़ोतरी हुई है।
