Quick🧵: I want to say something about this chart (other than, as so many rightly point out, this is really a chart about paid sick/dependent care leave plus public health): it's a great example of the fact that school is child care, too!

Don't confuse the BLS usage of "child-care" with "child care programs for kids <5 years old" -- it encompasses "my elementary schooler is sick" too. More proof that, as @brycecovert wrote back in 2020, school is child care, and child care is educational! nytimes.com/2020/10/13/opi…
