National Core Indicators Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (NCI®-IDD) State of the Workforce in 2023: REPORT RELEASE
The National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS) and Human Services Research Institute (HSRI) announce the release of the final NCI State of the Workforce for IDD (NCI-IDD SoTW)® 2023 report. The NCI-IDD SoTW is the most comprehensive data on provider agencies and the Direct Support Professional (DSP) workforce providing direct services to adults (age 18 and over) with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
A few report highlights:
- Across the nation, the median hourly wage for DSPs is $17.20 which is almost a dollar-and-a-quarter increase from the median hourly wage of $15.98 in 2022.
- The weighted average turnover ratio was 39.7% and of those 24 states that also conducted the NCI-IDD State of the Workforce in 2022 survey, 17 states demonstrated a decrease in turnover ratio.
- On average, 38.1% of agencies report they turned away or stopped accepting referrals due to staffing issues, down from 49.7% in 2022.
HSRI and NASDDDS will continue working closely with state partners and other disability groups to identify opportunities to use these data to further strengthen service delivery systems and ensure DSPs are valued for their essential role supporting people with disabilities.
