Child Care—Career
Opportunities
 Employment Outlook
Employment of preschool workers is expected to increase faster than the
average for all occupations through the year 2010.
The reason for such rapid growth results from an increasing population of
children under the age of five, combined with an increase in mothers employed
outside of the home. Employment potential in Illinois is large and stable.
In 2006, mean annual earning of full-time
salaried child care workers were $39,006. Source: IL Department of Employment
