    About a third of the country has paid parental leave. We have it here in the west coast and I know most northeastern states also have it.

    Here in Washington it is 16-18 weeks for women and 12 weeks for men.

      I’ve lived in NH and Mass my whole life. As far as I’m aware the states both guarantee 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Your work can opt to pay (at a reduced weekly income) but they can also tell you to pound sand. And seeing as how many people live off week to week paychecks…

      My payed time off would be used up in a week. They might be considerate and keep me in payroll after that expired, but I’d be without pay once that PTO ran out.

        You might want to look into jobs on the west coast, Colorado, Maryland, Delaware, NJ, NY, RI, MA, or CT. Or literally any other country in the world.
