Yes. Even in my relatively low cost of living city (San Antonio, TX) some friends of mine about to have a kid are having to get on a wait list before birth for something near them. I don't really understand why this price spiral occurred but it is so hard for parents nowadays.
- conductr 4y agoI'm up in Dallas but probably directionally same as down in SA. As you know, basically nobody makes the legal minimum wage in Texas. The market is higher. Caregivers are usually near whatever that "effective minimum wage" is. They might get paid $1 an hour more than someone working at Chipotle or similar. Up here, this wage band has gone from ~$10-$12/hr to $15-$20/hr in a short period of time. This is core inflation.
