Notes
The number of children with both parents in the labor force, the number of children who live with their father only and he is in the labor force, and children who live with their mother only and she is in the labor force are added together to get the number of children with all available parents in the labor force. If there is a parent at home, that family is not counted. The purpose of the indicator is to determine how many children need child care.
The margins of error are very large for nearly all counties, making these estimates unreliable. The KIDS COUNT Data Center suppresses all estimates when the percentage margin of error is greater than or equal to five percentage points. If you use these estimates, use EXTREME caution.
