US: Paid parental leave is rare, but good for kids (Opinion)

US: Paid parental leave is rare, but good for kids (Opinion)
Child Trends – July 20, 2017
Despite widespread public support for paid family leave, very few U.S. workers have the opportunity to take paid time off after the birth or adoption of a child. The United States has no federal policy requiring employers to offer paid family leave. Just 14 percent of civilian workers have access to paid leave of any kind through their employer, and workers making more than $75,000 per year are more likely than others to have been paid while taking leave.
