Child Care in State Economies (2024) is a three-part series examining the current status of the paid child care industry in the U.S. The reports provide policymakers and other stakeholders with a detailed update on the status of the paid child care industry following unprecedented disruption during the recent COVID-19 public health pandemic. This second report concentrates primarily on the supply of child care from the perspective of paid child care providers. This analysis is performed within the context of identifying structural changes to child care delivery since the onset of the recent pandemic. This includes the number of child care providers, changes in the child care workforce and wages, and spillover effects from the child care industry to the broader economy. The first section of the report offers an overview of the status of child care providers in the postpandemic landscape, while the second section presents an updated economic profile of the child care sector at both the national and state levels. The profile provides a broad historical perspective on child care market conditions extending across more than two decades, alongside a detailed state-level analysis using the most recently available data. Examining state-specific characteristics of the child care sector provides policymakers with a nuanced understanding of the recent dynamics of the paid child care market.
