Average pay for childcare workers ... $20,000 per year.

Do the rough math...a lower-income or uneducated or otherwise challenged mother has to go to work full time...pay $12,000 for child care, say at least $4,000 in taxes, cheap Obamacare health at say $3,000, cost of gasoline, work clothing and other out-of-home expenses.

There isn't much left but the "dignity of working" ... and that dignity achieved often by taking care of someone else's children.
