It’s unrealistic to expect widespread interest from Caregivers if your pay is below that of your competitors. Tracking down what others in your market are offering and what Caregivers near you are looking to make has long been a challenge for agencies [hiring CNAs](http://mycnajobs.com/hire) and Caregivers. And while the importance of pay can’t be overstated when [recruiting Caregivers](http://mycnajobs.com/pay), neither can the importance of proper data on pay. The latest research shows Caregiver and [CNA pay](http://mycnajobs.com/pay) has gone up across the country heading into 2018. The average hourly pay for an uncertified Caregiver is $11.37, while the average hourly pay for a certified Caregiver such as a CNA or CHHA is $12.11. It’s important to note this varies from market to market, but the national numbers paint a clear picture of rising wages. In order to stay competitive in [Caregiver, HHA, and CNA recruitment](http://mycnajobs.com/hire) agencies are having to find ways to increase pay. You can find local data on [Caregiver pay](http://mycnajobs.com/pay) in your area by accessing our free [Caregiver Pay Portal](http://mycnajobs.com/pay) here. This is a real time look into what Caregivers and CNAs in your area are making.
