I live in Milwaukee,WI and there are tons of home health aide positions available along with CNA,PCA, & PCW positions. Also available are Resident Assistant/Resident Aide positions to work in group homes or assisted living homes or even private duty. So wisconsin should not be at the bottom of the list as far as home health aide job openings because I have been in this field for over 10 years and have never had a problem finding a job. It is in very high demand that some home health agencies are willing to train
