Pennsylvania Chambers Push for Child Care Investment

Pennsylvania Chambers Push for Child Care Investment

Published 2 days, 9 hours ago
Description

Pennsylvania’s 81 chambers of commerce are sounding the alarm: child care isn’t just a family issue—it’s a $6.5 billion economic crisis. With teachers earning just over $15 an hour and centers closing or overflowing, parents can’t work, businesses can’t hire, and the state’s economy suffers. They’re pushing for a $10 million boost to recruit and retain staff, plus $7.5 million for Pre-K Counts and $2 million for Head Start—calling it a smart, bipartisan investment to unlock workforce potential and fuel growth.
