For example, when you see those ships that are at anchor in the port, some of those issues actually might have to do with the availability of truckers a thousand miles inland. Now, there are a lot of things contributing to this. One of them is child care, of course, which is why the president\u2019s Build Back Better vision is going to be good for the labor market.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cYes, the child care issue is not new, but it is a greater crunch than ever, even compared to a year or two ago, which is why it is so important for us to support child care. I mean, again, I think the underappreciated dimension of the Build Back Better agenda, what I call part two of the big deal, part one being the transportation and infrastructure bill we just passed, part of that is it that that\u2019s actually going to ease these labor market pressures. And that\u2019s not just us in the administration saying it. A lot of very respected economists have pointed to that same effect and how it could also help with inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMorning Joe\u201d co-host Mika Brzezinski replied, \u201cI still don\u2019t understand. I mean, if you\u2019re telling me that Build Back Better will bring people back to work because of much-needed and long-needed issues like child care and pre-K, that still doesn\u2019t explain why people aren\u2019t coming to work today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would not ignore the issue of child care,\u201d Buttigieg maintained. \u201cI would not ignore the issue of safety. Some people are still concerned about returning during the course of the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2021\/11\/10\/buttigieg_says_child_care_will_help_solve_supply_chain_crisis.html\">RCP Video<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg claimed the child care plan included in President Joe Biden\u2019s so-called \u201cBuild Back Better Act\u201d would help solve the ongoing labor crisis.
