One of the biggest stressors to a working family’s household finances is childcare costs. The average household with children spends $9400 per child annually for care, with some areas costing over $24,000 per year. Childcare concerns were one of the top reasons cited by people, particularly women, who voluntarily left the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this episode of Find Your Niche, a Career Podcast, host Lori Cole breaks down the depth of working parents’ financial burden with childcare, including:
- How the stress of juggling childcare and work affects employee productivity
- How much the COVID-19 pandemic strained childcare centers
- And what you can do about it
