According to new research from Harvard Business School, America is experiencing a new kind of crisis: a “caregiving crisis,” as two researchers are calling it. Of the 75 percent of U.S. workers who have a caregiving responsibility, 28 percent said their caregiving obligations had hurt their career, 32 percent said they left a job because of life-work incompatibility, and 80 percent said their responsibilities at home kept them from doing their best at work. A crisis, indeed.
