HS-NJ giving Direct Support Professionals a temporary increase in salary of $3. an hour for 3 months. That comes out to approximately an extra $1440. for a 40 hour work week for 3 months.

I think they should have done better as it's a far cry from the $25,000. we heard with the Federal Stimulus for front line workers which largely benefited the politicians with ongoing enormous increases in their salaries.
