The rapid growth for Home Health Aides is projected to grow 22 percent from 2022 to 2032, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 684,600 openings for home health and personal care aides are projected each year, on average, over the upcoming decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force.
According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, a home health and personal care aides salary could be upwards of $42,450 annually, with the middle 50% earning as high as $33,530. Many factors are considered when calculating a home health and personal care aides salary such as location, type of facility, education level and years of experience.
Employment, job placement, and/or salary/salary ranges are not guaranteed to graduates upon program completion.
