Indiana Needs More Child Care Facilities

Indiana’s losing three-billion dollars a year because it doesn’t have enough child care. That’s the finding of an Indiana University study.
The study calculates businesses bleed one-point-eight-billion dollars through lost productivity, or the cost of extra help to cover for employees who miss work to deal with child care issues. The study says those absent employees often lose wages or quit entirely, which takes money out of the economy, and costs the state tax revenue.
