5. Imagine working 20 hours a week at a part
time job for 5 years…
and NEVER GETTING PAID for it.
That’s the average amount of time
volunteered by long-term Family Caregivers.
Research has found that a family caregiver who is
50-years-old or older who leaves the workforce to
care for a parent forgoes, on average, $304,000 in
lost salary and benefits over their lifetime.
Family caregivers were more likely to report fair or
poor health, and are more likely to report
depression, diabetes, hypertension, or pulmonary
disease. The estimated average additional health
cost to employers is 8% more for those with
eldercare responsibilities.
Of All U.S. Workers:
49%
expected to be providing

11. Considering getting a
cortisone shot for a
twitching finger.
What are the side
effects of a cortisone
shot? In people who have
diabetes, cortisone
injections can elevate
the blood sugar. In
patients with underlying
infections, cortisone
injections can suppress
somewhat the body's
ability to fight the
infection and possibly
worsen the infection or
may mask the infection
by suppressing the
symptoms and signs of
inflammation.
