Our businesses are losing thousands of dollars due to employee turnover because their workers cannot find reliable childcare.
In Iowa, when I talk to employers about workforce development and ways to bring new investment into our region, access to affordable childcare almost always comes up and it is almost always at the top of the list.
In your testimony I know you mentioned how the ongoing trade war with China is hurting two industries that are heavily served by railroads, both agriculture and manufacturing, which we feel pretty strongly in Iowa 1 right now.
It is incredibly important to address this crisis and bring down the cost of childcare for working families.
