Cost of child care for one child can be more than rent in some US counties blog.dol.gov/2024/11/19/n...
NEW DATA: Childcare costs remain an almost prohibitive expense
We updated our National Database of Childcare Prices with data from 2019-2022 and found that U.S. families spend between 8.9% and 16.0% of their median income on full-day care for just one child.
