Potential Child Care Needs
Children in Need of Care
The interactive graphic displays the number of workers and in industries and occupations designated as either or “critical businesses” within the food system sector, based on the Colorado Governor’s Order on March 22, 2020. Even in the midst of social distancing, it is necessary for some industries/occupations to be exempt, so that, for example, individuals and households can get access to health care services and food.
We hope that this visual display of data is useful to decision makers when considering the number of workers directly impacted by the “critical business” designation, and the indirect impacts on emergency service provisions such as childcare.
