ARCHANGELS Work is Real Work
ARCHANGELS Work is changing the way employers and job havers (and seekers) view a role that over 40% of us have in common: being the ones doing it all for everyone else.
Being an unpaid caregiver, an Archangel, is a job. One that can be shared in our work histories and everyday conversations in ways that give this truly essential job the credibility and respect it’s earned.
Whether you've stepped away from employment to do it, or are holding it all together while you do, the skills you build as an Archangel are real. They belong on your resume, in your next interview, and in conversations you maybe haven’t realized you could have — with your boss, your friends, that neighbor you always run into at the coffee shop.
ARCHANGELS Work exists to give you language you can use anywhere and everywhere to talk about the work you do.
The Work Is Real. So Are the Skills.
Archangels are building the exact skills employers say they can't find. Research from Rutgers Business School and MIT Sloan Management Review mapped caregiving against the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics most in-demand workplace competencies.
The result? Caregiving builds over 75% of the skills the workforce needs — including 100% of the top three across all occupations: adaptability, communication, and detail orientation.
The work you do (or have done) as an Archangel is exactly what employers are looking for. ARCHANGELS Work helps you name what you do and make sure those hiring understand exactly why it’s relevant.
it’s more than just a resume thing
The language ARCHANGELS Work gives you works everywhere. Not just in interviews — but in the everyday moments where your story comes up and you want the words to match what you're actually carrying.
Whether you want to be seen, need to vent, or want to tell it like it really is the next time someone says ‘I don't know how you do it’ — we've got you there, too.
Part of Something Bigger
ARCHANGELS Work is part of the ARCHANGELS movement — a national platform using data, stories, and community to make sure Archangels are seen, honored, and supported. Through our Caregiver Intensity Index (CII) and partnerships with employers, health systems, and communities across the country, ARCHANGELS is changing how this country sees and thinks about the essential work you do every day.
New national data shows that when Archangels feel supported at work, the risk of crisis drops by more than two thirds. That's not a nice-to-have. That's a number worth acting on.
We're acting on it. Join us.
