美国的儿童保育费用飞涨,超过每个州家庭收入中位数的7%。 Child care costs in the U.S. have skyrocketed, exceeding 7% of median family income in every state.

美国的儿童保育费用急剧上升,目前估计从出生到18岁,抚养一名儿童的费用为297 674美元。 Child care costs in the U.S. have surged, with raising a child now estimated at $297,674 from birth to age 18. 如果儿童保育费用不超过家庭收入的7%,但是没有一个国家达到家庭收入中位数的这一门槛,那么光是儿童保育就被认为是可负担的。 Child care alone is considered affordable if it costs no more than 7% of a family's income, but no state meets this threshold for families at the median income. 在38个州和特区,婴儿护理费用超过了州立公立大学的学费。 In 38 states and D.C., infant care costs exceed in-state public college tuition.
