COWS report of the Local Child Care Wage Initiative. COWS assumes that improving the income of caregivers will help keep dedicated workers in the field and reduce turnover of the workforce.

This report also examines empirical evidence of the relationship between turnover, child care quality, and care workers’ wages in Dane County.

Unfortunately most state policymakers have ignored the fact that, in addition to the imbalance that exists within the state between revenues and spending, there is a wide disparity in the financial flows between Wisconsin and the federal government. The sum of federal tax payments that Wisconsinites send to the nation’s capital outpaces federal domestic spending within the state by a wide margin.
