Working Parents: Putting the Childcare Crisis to Bed
Manage episode 338248898 series 3355455
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
She also chats with someone on the frontlines of the childcare crisis, WeeCare CEO Jessica Chang, whose company is the largest childcare network in America and provides affordable childcare options for working parents.
