(WWJ) Usually a person takes a job based on pay, or experience.
But it can be much more complicated for working mothers facing the prohibitive cost of childcare.
Kaylei Pipes, a Macomb County mother of two, in the the fall began working a $13-an-hour job as an assistant at her child's school... despite the fact that she could make more money at even McDonald's.
"I only took this position because it worked for us as far as the timeframe and the hours, just so that way I do not have to put my childcare. Because I cannot afford childcare," Piper's told WWJ's Zach Clark.
A new survey shows that 300,000 more women would be a part of the U.S. workforce — where workers are desperately needed — but are sidelined because of the rising cost of childcare. On a Mother's Day episode of The Daily J podcast, Clark takes a look at what it would take to make it easier for moms (who want or need to work) work?
