Neil Harrington, the research director for the nonprofit NC Child, joins 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell on Wednesday, August 7. North Carolina is experiencing a difficult reality with its child care field. The option are shrinking while also getting more expensive. Harrington shares some of the root causes and real consequences of the trend — like what it means for families’ finances and the economic toll it takes on the state. He then discusses what NC Child is advocating for North Carolina to do at the state government level, and the risk the child care industry runs if those goals are not met.

The referenced report commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation with the North Carolina Chamber of Commerce Foundation and NC Child can be found here.
