New data from the U.S. Department of Labor won't come as a surprise to parents of young children in Massachusetts: It reveals that child care prices here are among the highest in the nation.

The median cost for infant center care in both Middlesex and Norfolk counties was found to be $26,409.12, according to the Department of Labor. That is the third most expensive, following only Arlington County, Virginia ($27,219.92), and San Francisco County, California ($26.775.12).

Additionally, Suffolk County and Essex County appear in the top 20, with median infant center care costs of more than $23,100. And all 14 Massachusetts counties fell within the top 100 based on the median cost.

The data shows that parents of infants in Suffolk County spend a median of 28.3% of their income on care.

Department of Labor data reveals similar results for the median cost of preschool care in Massachusetts, which was determined to be $19.111.86 in both Norfolk and Middlesex Counties. The two counties were tied for fifth most expensive in that ranking.
