On Thursday, February 3, 2022 from 1-2pm ET the Cornell ILR Buffalo Co-Lab and the Live Well Erie Emergency Child Care Task Force, will host a free webinar to present the findings of a newly released study, “The True Cost of Child Care: Erie County, NY,” Part I, to the public.

Child care is an essential workforce support. Low wages have driven an 11% drop in the child care workforce in Erie County and have resulted in devastating repercussions for families and the local economy.
