Parental leave grows

AxiosThe number of men taking parental leave has surged 183% in the last five years, The Wall Street Journal reports. The number of women taking parental leave has increased by 13% since 2018, as employers broaden access to leave for mothers as well. Laws in seven states plus D.C. now require employers to offer paid parental leave — up from four in 2018, The Journal notes. Four more states will mandate it by 2026.
