Too Costly to Work? The Childcare Burden on Household Earnings

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s Community and Economic Development (CED) Discussion 

Paper Series addresses emerging and critical issues in community development. Our goal is to provide 

information on topics that will be useful to the many actors involved in community development—governments, nonprofits, financial institutions, and beneficiaries.

Too Costly to Work? The Childcare Burden on Household Earnings

Two southeastern states, Florida and Georgia, have several of the country’s fastest growing metro areas. 

Adequate labor supply is going to be critical to support that growth. This is especially true for essential and foundational occupations that are in high demand and important for community development and employment objectives. High childcare costs have the potential to be an impediment to labor supply if families with young children cannot access affordable childcare. This report examines the magnitude of the childcare burdens in high-demand jobs for the fast-growing areas in Florida and Georgia.
