That cant be right. I am in a LCOL area and its almost double that for 1 kid. And its one of the cheapest options.
It says the average is 700 per household. Perhaps it counts households without kids?
- PenguinCoder 3y agoHas to; from my own anecdotal experience. More than double that in a LCOL area here as well.
- Paul-Craft 3y agoThe exact number doesn't really matter. The point is that the difference between the cost of childcare and what a parent may make as a second earner has a significant opportunity cost that may not make working outside the home a good deal.
