The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) is mandated by legislative rule 20 ILCS 505/5.15, to conduct a survey of the workforce in licensed child care facilities every two years. The survey summarized in this report meets that mandate by documenting the following: (1) the number of qualified caregivers attracted to vacant positions and any problems encountered by facilities in attracting and retaining capable caregivers, (2) the qualifications of new caregivers hired at licensed child care facilities during the previous two-year period, and (3) the average wages and salaries and fringe benefits paid to caregivers throughout the State computed on a regional basis.
