New Study Shows Missouri Parents are Leaving the Workforce

A new study by the Missouri Chamber of Commerce shows many parents are

leaving the workforce due to a lack of childcare or the high cost of childcare.

The study shows more than 30 per cent of Missouri parents have left a job or

not taken a job in the last year because of childcare issues. The study reports

that has cost the state’s economy more than 1-point-3 billion dollars. Many

childcare facilities closed during the pandemic and did not re-open.
