In 2017, Clare Luz, a gerontologist at Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine, received an Archie Green Fellowship from the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress to conduct a research project on the occupational folklore of "Personal Home Health Care Aides in Michigan." Working with fellow MSU faculty members, including the epidemiologist Khalid Ibrahim as well as folklorist Marsha MacDowell and her colleagues at the MSU Museum and Michigan Traditional Arts Program, Dr. Luz documented occupational histories of 28 dedicated personal home health care aides (PCAs) in central Michigan, whose occupational histories, on-the-job experiences, and significant contributions to their communities have been historically marginalized and under-documented.
Companies following this. if i can just add about the medical workers, it s shocking to me, but there is enormous noncompliance with vaccines in the medical profession, not necessarily among doctors, but certainly among nurses and home health care aides. they are not vaccinated in the numbers that you would expect. so the fact that the federal government is potentially withholding reimbursement to these medical operations is a very important step. it s huge. we re a little more than an hour out from this speech from the president where he will detail many elements of this new plan. yeah, they weren t kidding, there are going to be some bombshells in there. thank you all. meanwhile, former president trump is heaping praise on a

You, don t blame obama, don t blame trump, don t give either of them credit. presidents get all together too much blame and too much credit for the jobs numbers. here s the magic. 1 is 211,000 jobs created in april. the unemployment rate down to 4.4%. i always tell people, ignore this mattenumber, it doesn t ma. it isn t as important as this number, the job creation number. 2017, we averaged 185,000 jobs. created per month, this is interesting becausit s exactly the same as the 2016 average. here s where we gain jobs. l leisure and hospitality. this is important, the kind of economy we are, where we generally add jobs. health care added jobs forrer a month for the last ten years. only 37,000 in. this isn t necessarily doctors or nurses. could be home health care aides who don t earn that much money but always jobs created in
