Struggles in the child care industry

With most American families spending well over ten thousand dollars annually on child care, the burden has become comparable to the cost of a state college education. In Fayetteville, Arkansas, parents like Britni Nuñez, who works in a chicken plant, find themselves grappling with the high cost of child care, where a weekly expense of $250 strains their budget significantly.
