POTTSVILLE – Governor Josh Shapiro was in Schuylkill County Tuesday touting a portion of his proposed 2025-26 budget his office says will help make childcare more affordable.
“My budget proposal places a special emphasis on workforce development – addressing growing workforce shortages across several critical sectors, including child care,” said Shapiro. “Right now, we have 3,000 unfilled jobs in child care centers across Pennsylvania and when families can’t find safe, affordable child care for their kids, it forces them out of our workforce and hurts our economy. That’s why my budget includes $55 million to give child care workers in Pennsylvania at least $1,000 in recruitment or retention bonuses to invest in our workforce and solve this problem.”
Shapiro stopped by The Perception Training Center on Laurel Boulevard.
He was joined by Senator David G. Argall, Rep. Tim Twardzik, and Bob Carl, President of the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce.
