Child care is an essential resource for Alabama’s workforce. As Alabama continues to see success in industry recruitment and job creation, the lack of affordable, accessible, and quality child care has emerged as a substantial barrier to work, affecting the lives of families and impacting economic progress in our state. This year's Clearing the Path research event will showcase the impact of child care on Alabama businesses and our state’s low labor force participation. It’s time to invest in the industry that keeps Alabama working: child care.
