5 thoughts on “Report: State loses out on $4.2B annually due to child care shortage

  1. I really don’t care for the phrasing or implication of this headline. In other words, too many parents are taking care of their children instead of sitting in cubicles generating tax revenue.

    1. Get real real, Keith. Not all parents can afford to stay home as households more often than not (especially in lowing-paying Indiana) need two or three incomes just to meet basic needs.

  2. Just another idealistic fantasy of the Indiana Chamber. Their use of mixed statistics and studies for all of us to reach our so called potentials, are more reasons lose respect for the chamber. $4.2 Billion, what a pure made up fantasy! Living our lives the best we can, and best we can afford, seems to not be enough for this bunch. I think I hear chicken little calling that the sky is falling.
