Report: Unaffordable child care harms Montana economy
September 28, 2020/
Inadequate child care costs Montana businesses nearly $55 million a year in lost worker productivity, according to a new report from the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at the University of Montana.
Better access to child care would save the state’s economy $250 million a year while child care costs disproportionately burden lower-income families, thus perpetuating the cycle of poverty, the study’s authors found.
