The bill already passed in the state Senate in June and should be voted on by the Assembly later this month
The goal of improving compensation for workers at health care facilities is understandable given their current pay and the challenges in filling positions. But consideration should be given to how health care facilities will respond to this higher expense. Some providers will hire fewer health care workers, resulting in a decline in the quality of care and an increase in workers’ stress. Also, establishing a unique minimum wage for a sector should be avoided.
If the minimum wage for health care workers is raised, there must be increased funding from the state to compensate providers for the added labor costs that they would incur.Increasing the minimum wage, even for health care workers only, would benefit some workers but harm others by pricing them out of the labor market. Low-skilled workers that have lower educational attainment would likely be out of work, hurting many of the very workers it is intended to help.
