The Lack of Childcare
Bouquet
$13,000
You can’t work if your childcare doesn’t work. But Congress still doesn’t get it. Childcare that eats up a large portion of your paycheck ($13,000 on avg. according to the Economic Policy Institute) isn’t working, especially for the 3 in 10 single moms living below the poverty line. Maybe it’s time some of those in Congress tried working for a change.
