WV Childcare Economic Impact Survey

The availability of reliable and affordable childcare is a critical factor influencing workforce participation and economic growth. In West Virginia, businesses face unique challenges related to recruiting and retaining a stable workforce, particularly in regions where childcare options are limited. To better understand how these challenges affect business operations and economic development, we are conducting a survey targeting both existing West Virginia businesses and prospective businesses considering a location in the state.
