Childcare Now Costs $1,031 More Than Public College Tuition, On Average, in the United States

The next time someone asks whether or not you think Joe Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act” is working, you can share with them a new research report showing that childcare is becoming more expensive than in-state college tuition in 28 out of 50 states.

In fact, on average in the United States, childcare now costs $1,031 more than public college tuition, according to a new report from NetCredit.

The report “researched the average annual fees paid for public and private college tuition and the average cost of childcare in each U.S. state” and then “calculated the difference in yearly fees paid for childcare and in-state college tuition”.
