(KERO) — The childcare issues that kept many parents out of the workforce during the pandemic still persist today.
Bank of America found that at the end of 2022 about 7 percent fewer people were making childcare payments than right before the pandemic started. And a report from the Federal Reserve found close to 5 million people missed work last month due to staying home with a child not in daycare.
That's about the same as the year before.
