What this bill does
This concurrent resolution, H.Con.Res. 112, expresses Congress's support for the goals of National Child Care Worthy Wage Day. It specifically urges public officials and the public to recognize early childhood care and education staff and programs. The resolution also calls for efforts to address what it describes as an early childhood care and education staff compensation crisis.
The bill highlights that a large percentage of young children are in non-parental care while parents work, and that the early care and education industry employs over 2.3 million workers. It notes that these workers often have low salaries and limited benefits, contributing to a high turnover rate which can impact the quality of care and children's development. The resolution emphasizes the importance of fair compensation for these professionals, commensurate with their role in fostering children's skills and school readiness.
Introduced in the House of Representatives in April 2007, this resolution was later sent to the Senate for action. The latest recorded action was a message on Senate action being sent back to the House in May 2008. As a concurrent resolution, it does not require the President's signature to become effective, but rather expresses the sentiment of both chambers of Congress.
