.Governor Kathy Hochul: You have announced with great fanfare an inflation refund for the working people of New York. A living wage that keeps up with the cost of living is the ultimate form of inflation refund for NY’s human services workforce.

Gov. Hochul’s proposed 2.1% wage increase for human services workers isn't enough—it’s a pay cut with inflation. We need a 7.8% raise in the final budget to keep essential workers serving NY. Read more from Michelle #JustPay Jackson of HSC

I'm back in Albany as we finalize the budget. One sticking point: wage adjustments for essential Human Services Workers. Assembly & Senate want a 7.8% increase to keep pace with inflation & ensure essential workers can afford to stay in their jobs. timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

Human Services Workers are our day care providers, our mental health workers who help everyday NYers, & the senior care aides who ensure our elders live with dignity. They deserve a modest 7.8% cost-of-living adjustment in the state's Executive Budget Governor Kathy Hochul

Costs are up across the board- but the human services workers who literally help New Yorkers every day are just scraping by. In this year's budget, let's give them the real cost-of-living-adjustment they deserve. timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
