What challenges do American families face in accessing child care? ICYMI, check out this blog from Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis by researcher Ana Kent and economist Xiaohan Zhang.

"In the U.S., the average annual cost of child care was an estimated $10,900 per child per year in 2021. This is 15% of median household income—more than double the 7% the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services considers affordable."
