What's the economic value of family caregiving in Wisconsin?

According to a report for 2004 by the National Family Caregivers Association and the Family Caregiver Alliance, Wisconsin :

  • Ranked 18th in prevalence and economic value of family caregiving
  • Half a million family caregivers
  • 588 million hours of care
  • Market value: $6 billion (at minimum wage)

That's a pretty big business.
