We’re at $1,800/mo for part-time childcare, have friends that are closer to $5,000/mo for two kids. Add that to uncertainty of student loan repayment plans, and rising costs across everything else…
In Minnesota, it costs an average of $22,569 a year to send an infant to daycare — more than in-state tuition for a four-year public college.
Remote policies helped women work. In-office mandates and child care costs are driving them back out.
Low flexibility and high child care costs are pushing mothers with young kids back out after they joined the workforce in record numbers during the pandemic.

Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.
Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
