A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 624120-06 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The Homemakers Service industry has a long history of providing in-home care for elderly and disabled individuals. The industry began to emerge in the early 1900s, with the first known Homemakers Service established in Boston in 1907. These early services were often run by charitable organizations and provided basic housekeeping and personal care services to those in need. In the 1960s, the industry began to expand as the government began to fund programs to provide in-home care to the elderly and disabled. Today, the industry has grown to include a wide range of services, including meal preparation, medication management, and transportation. In recent years, the industry has also seen advancements in technology, such as the use of telehealth to monitor patients remotely. In the United States, the Homemakers Service industry has seen significant growth in recent years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in the industry is projected to grow by 34 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. This growth is due in part to the aging of the baby boomer generation, which is increasing the demand for in-home care services. Additionally, advances in medical technology are allowing more people to live longer with chronic conditions, creating a need for ongoing care. Despite this growth, the industry faces challenges such as a shortage of qualified workers and low wages for caregivers.
