CSCCE provides ongoing analysis of national and regional child care job numbers. Check back each month for updates.

The child care sector continues an upwards trend as 7,100 jobs were added last month. Nonetheless, employment in the sector continues to lag behind overall employment.

After adjusting for this month’s annual BLS update to the data, child care employment today is 5.5% below what it was in February 2020.
