ECE and Economic Output in California

The UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education releases the Economic Impacts of Early Care and Education in California study.

This study finds that the $5.6 billion early child care and education (ECE) industry supports $11.1 billion in economic output in California. The authors estimate that spending on ECE supports nearly 200,000 jobs, and state ECE spending results in more than half a billion dollars in state and local tax revenue. The study finds that every dollar spent on ECE yields $2 in economic output for the California economy. Find a link to the report on our website.
