Quote from Source 5:
"Underlying the wage issue is the high cost of child care itself, which makes industry workers’ poor pay all the more surprising. For parents, full-time infant care costs —on average—between $4,560 and $16,549 per year, depending on the state and child care center setting. For a four-year-old, it ranges from $4,039 to $12,320. The Berkeley Center’s analysis shows that there’s been a two-fold increase in the cost to parents for early childhood services since 1997. At the same time, child care workers have experienced no increase in real earnings, even as payroll and related expenses make up 80% of the cost of a child care program."
