Option 1:
New data shows a $6 billion reduction to Washington’s economy because of how hard it is for parents to balance work and child care. When the system doesn’t work for parents or providers, Washington pays the price! #childcareforwa #whopaysforchildcare
Option 2: Parents
Washington’s economy lost out on $6 billion in 2023 because of how child care issues impact our ability to work. When parents have to sacrifice work for child care, Washington pays the price! #childcareforwa #whopaysforchildcare
Option 1:
Businesses can’t fully run when staff don’t show up, and 62% of parents have missed work this last year alone to make sure their children can get care. Our economy pays the price for the child care crisis! #childcareforwa #whopaysforchildcare
Option 2: Business Perspective
I know firsthand that my business can’t work when my employees are concerned about their kids or miss shifts because child care is working for them. Until we invest in solving the child care crisis, businesses like mine will pay the price! #childcareforwa #whopaysforchildcare
Option 1:
What would you do if you lost your income for a year? That’s a reality 1 in 10 parents have to face, because child care-related issues keep them out of the workforce. Without a child care system that works for families, Washington’s parents pay the price! #childcareforwa #whopaysforchildcare
Option 1:
Nearly 40% of parents in Washington have quit or lost their job from child care-related issues. Without a child care system that works for families, parents are paying the price! #childcareforwa #whopaysforchildcare
Option 1:
1 in 10 parents have been out of work for a least a year since their children were born – which hurts their families and the businesses that rely on them. Without a child care system that works for working parents, Washington is paying the price! #childcareforwa #whopaysforchildcare
