More than forty percent of American families are struggling to find affordable childcare.
A new report from the Economic Policy Institute shows that childcare for one infant now costs more than rent in 17 states and more than in-state college tuition in 38 states.
These increasing costs mean more parents of young children are at a crossroads: Drop out of the workforce to save on childcare, or have their salaries eaten up by high childcare costs?
We discuss the cost of childcare and the effect high childcare costs have on our economy.
