happened to women, just over the last couple of years, so that today we have millions of women not in the workforce, one out of forces the problem is childcare. so if you care about women, then you care about this bill. if you care about babies, then you care about this bill. but also if you care about child care workers who are so often paid barely above poverty wages, then you care about this still, because it raises their wages. but here s the thing, you cannot like mamas, you cannot like babies, you cannot like child care workers, and you still care about this bill. because you are hearing from all of the small businesses in your home state who say they can t find workers. well they can find workers if mamas can t find childcare. this is one of those it s kind of like every piece that s what s broken, what we re trying to put in here helps make it by dr.. and can i have one more? thing and besides that, we ve
workers were still unvaccinated. vaccine deadlines are starting to take effect across the country the military is beginning to honorably discharge the shall forgo the vaccine. laying off 175 workers who wouldn t get the shot. the governor connecticut announced this week all state employees child care workers and elementary school teachers would be required to get vaccinated. i just can t bring meyer myself to comply if you toll those demands. rhode island medical workers have until friday to get a dose making no exception for religious exemptions. in massachusetts state troopers must get their shot by october 17th. some already threatening to walk off the job. we re not going to be able to determine how that is going to affect us but we are going to see increase in case load in response times and overwork. governor charlie baker argues it s critical for them to roll
payments that millions of americans rely on. payments like paychecks to federal workers, medicare benefits, military salaries, tax refunds, social security checks and payments to federal contractors. all right. covid broke child care, folks. there is a hiring crisis at day care centers across the country. we re getting a sense of how the work force changed because of the virus. the american work force has shrunk 3.5%. the bar and restaurant work force down 8%. the work force down 12% in child care. down 125,000 jobs. child care workers in high demand as many parents return to offices, but good luck finding people to take the jobs. it s very hard. everywhere is hiring. unfortunately, again being a home day care, i m just a small business. so i can t offer, you know, 12,
15, $20 an hour like bigger companies can. and i ve been shamed on facebook actually for it. child care workers have quit in droves. a big challenge as you heard there is pay. the typical child care worker earns about $12 an hour. the pandemic puts their health at risk just going to work, and the remaining child care workers frankly are burned out. the hiring crisis in child care could force more parents, particularly women, to stay at home, and out of the labor market. it is all a potential threat to the economic recovery. i had no idea the rates of employment were down that much for child care workers. this is a real issue, especially as we go into next year where offices are going to start filling up again. employers expect you to come back. it s a real problem here. i don t think i m exaggerating the covid crisis broke child care. the model is broken. there s got to be some fix. in the $3.5 trillion plan from the white house, the democrats, there is help. there are subsid
