the cost of childcare is the single largest expense for families in almost half of the states in the nation and has been growing steadily, outweighing cost of food and housing&#8230; the cost of child care can surpass that of in-state tuition at four-year public colleges in 31 states&#8230; unfortunately the largest demographic hit is single mothers&#8230; the National Institutes of Health says that low income single mothers with young childcare challenges can be a significant barrier to even finding a job&#8230; it&#8217;s not a uncommon for child care to absorb one quarter of what the mothers earn<\/p>\n<p>People don&#8217;t want to or can&#8217;t commute &#8230;.in a recent poll by MRINetwork 75% of almost 600 people said &#8220;they would turn down a job offer because of the long commute&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining your place in the benefits system is a full-time, arduous job&#8230;

trying to keep up with this challenge and then go out to job hunt takes a super effort, zapping a person&#8217;s energy and attitude.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling stigmatized by potential employers&#8230; study after study has shown that resumes of people who are out of work for 27 weeks or more are automatically eliminated&#8230; in a recent study, 5000 identical resumes except for the fact that half reflected being unemployed for more than 27 weeks were sent to prospective employers&#8230;not\u00a0<em>one<\/em>\u00a0 of the candidates out of work for more than 27 weeks were invited to interview&#8230;
