How does the childcare funding from the Feds play into this? I’m not sure of the timelines leading up to this but I believe it was 2022 when daycare costs were cut in half for many centres. Obviously that has a large effect on demand. Going to $1200/month from $2400/month for two kids (as an example) means there are a lot more people finding it financially worth it to work and use childcare rather than just stay at home themselves.
