Here is the reason: FDR's Fair Labor And Standards Act exempted domestic service from wage regulations, and home health care workers are considered domestic servants instead of regular employees. That is why they are not paid very well. Obama's Labor Department has tried to shore up protections for home health care workers but a Federal judge overturned that action, but that has been reversed on appeal.

What we really need is a Democratic Congress.
