Childcare in the United States is widely known for its exorbitant costs. A January 2023 report from the U.S. Department of Labor revealed that new childcare data indicated prices simply weren't manageable for families. The average monthly expense for childcare in America hovers around $1,300, constituting a staggering one-fourth of the income for numerous Americans. Consequently, over 60% of impoverished families find themselves compelled to forgo work to care for their children at home, creating a ripple effect of financial challenges. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services deems childcare to be "affordable" if it costs less than 7% of a family's income, a standard met in just 2% of counties across the entire nation, leaving almost two-thirds of parents facing higher expenses. Remarkably, childcare remains unaffordable in 98% of counties nationwide.
