(Ada, OK) – Over half of workers ages 40 to 60 in the U.S. are caring for a parent while also holding down a job. According to LegalShield data released Monday, that pressure is already showing up at work through missed time, getting less done, and people thinking about leaving their jobs. The survey says nearly 40-percent have cut savings or retirement contributions to help pay for a parent’s care.
The analysis also shows legal questions tied to parental elder care have more than doubled since 2022, as middle-aged children deal with paperwork, care decisions, and out-of-pocket costs.
