The study analyzes the share of child care workers who claimed the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and describes their characteristics. About 65% of child care workers claimed the CERB, versus 35% of employed workers nationwide, with claimants more likely to work in schools, earn lower wages, and live in Ontario, the Prairies, or British Columbia.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research
