MAX Minutes with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
The Metro Atlanta eXchange for Workforce Solutions (MAX) is hosting MAX Minutes with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta on Friday, October 24th, at 9:00 AM, via Zoom.
Child care continues to garner significant attention nationally and in the southeast, with particular concern for affordability challenges and their potential impact on labor force participation. With 53% of the labor force made up of parents and 37% having young children, understanding the effects of child care affordability challenges is important for employers working to attract and retain talent. This is particularly true for communities that are experiencing a high business and industry growth rate with current and anticipated workforce needs.
The Atlanta Fed has conducted research to understand the extent to which child care affordability constraints may pose a potential barrier to work for families with young children. Brittany Birken, director and principal adviser for Community and Economic Development, and co-leader for Atlanta Fed’s Center for Workforce and Economic Opportunity will join MAX to provide a preview of this research.
Join MAX on Friday, October 24th, 9:00 AM, for a timely and virtual conversation.
