Low pay. Fewer leadership roles. Black and Latina child-care workers deal with racial barriers

A recent study by UC Berkeley found that Black and Latina child-care workers make up nearly two-thirds of the workforce but earn low wages and hold lower positions compared to white child-care workers. The study also found that Black workers, despite attaining a higher educational degree, were still paid low wages. This is set in place by inequities in state subsidies that help low-income families pay for child care but in turn, pay Black and Latina child-care workers less.
