West Virginia Struggling to Find Child Protection Workers

West Virginia has a chronic shortage of child protective service workers, according to this article on the WBOY Channel 12 Web site. There are more than 40 vacancies around the state.

There are several reasons for this shortage. One is low pay — the entry salary for a trainee is $27,000 a year. There is also high turnover because caseloads are heavy, the article said.
