JEFFERSON CITY — A new report finds that Missouri is one of the stingiest states in the nation when it comes to providing child care subsidies to low-income workers.
To qualify for child care aid in Missouri, a single parent with two children must earn less than $22,620 a year.
The National Women's Law Center said that income threshold places Missouri in the bottom five states nationally.
A majority of states provide child care aid to families earning well over $30,000 annually.
