STAGGERING FACTS TO CONSIDER...

• The Workforce has drastically changed the way
  they search for jobs today.
• The global labor shortage and war for talent - Bureau
  of Labor Statistics - reports a projected employee gap
  of 23 Million workers.
• 19% of the workforce holding executive, administrative,
  and management jobs will retire in next 5 years.  Vacancies include 49K nonprofit managers, 60K nonprofit executives.
• Prime Workers 24 - 54 years old will decrease 6%
  over the next 10 years.
• 70% of the workforce is hourly.  50% of all hourly hires last less than 5 months.  75% of all hourly hires last
  less than 1 year
• US Labor Department reports turnover rates for hourly workers have an average turnover rate which is four times
  higher than their exempt counterparts.
• Severe wage disparity between public and private
  sector workers in the human service industry
  (i.e. CT at 57% wage disparity).
• Turnover rates nationally range between 50% to 75%
  in health & human services.  Some agencies report
  turnover rates amongst DSPs over 100%.
• US Dept of Health & Human Services report to
  Congress January 2006 - due to the shortage
  of DSPs supporting individuals with ID/DD.

1. Estimated 4.3 million Americans with ID/DD living
   in residential settings, their own homes, or with
   members of family.
2. DHHS estimates that by 2020 the number of DSPs needed will grow to 1.2 million FTEs, providing services to 1.4 million individuals with ID/DD served in a home or Day program setting.
3. Vacancy rates nationally are between 10% - 11%
4. Between 2003 and 2020 the number of DSPs needed for the growth of Long Term Support Services (LTSS) will increase 37%.
5. Factors affecting this need include the growing population, increased life expectancy, increased prevalence of ID/DD (autism pandemic), aging caregivers (family growing older), national commitment to steady expansion of community services (integration)
6. Studies show 19,000 new FTEs will need to be added each year to meet this growing need beside filling vacancies due to turnover.

Even in a desperate economy, the human service industry will always require sufficient levels of quality staff to provide critical care and program services.
