Rising cost of childcare forces many working parents to make tough decisions – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: The rising cost of childcare is compelling many U.S. parents to make difficult choices. Typically considered affordable when under 7% of household income, childcare costs now average 8-19%. Efforts to support working parents better have emerged, including initiatives like Sigma Pro's on-site childcare center, which replaced plans for a conference room, significantly benefiting employees. Organizations like Best Place for Working Parents, co-founded by Sadie Funk and Sara Reddington, advocate for family-friendly policies like on-site childcare, remote work, and healthcare coverage. These measures, adopted by companies like Bell and Bank of Texas, aim to enhance employee retention and productivity, addressing major childcare-related productivity losses.
