Home Visiting Workforce Study Learning Brief – 1 (English)

This learning brief presents findings from Oregon’s 2023 Home Visiting Workforce Survey, focusing on pay equity across racial, ethnic, and linguistic lines. It reveals significant wage disparities, with Latine and Spanish-speaking home visitors earning less than their peers despite similar qualifications. Many workers report financial stress, inadequate benefits, and limited professional development, especially in their preferred languages. The brief calls for equitable pay, bilingual incentives, and more culturally and linguistically inclusive support systems to improve workforce well-being and retention.
