Abstract	The authors of this paper document how federal policy on child care and early education led to a decline in wages and education among staff in early childhood programs. The paper analyzes labor trends for the early care and education workforce over the past 25 years--notably, an overall decrease in educational qualifications, and persistent wage stagnation--in the light of federal and state policy, and makes a series of recommendations for reversing these downward trends. This paper is based on a literature review and on interviews with key informants in four of the seven states studied by the "Losing Ground" team (California, New Jersey, New York and Wisconsin) based on a report published by the Economic Policy Institute entitled "Losing Ground in Early Childhood Education: Declining Workforce Qualifications in an Expanding Industry, 1979-2004" (Herzenberg, Price & Bradley, 2005). Appended is: Limitations of Federal Data on the Early Care and Education Workforce. (Contains 2 tables, 2 figures, and 1 footnote.)
