Family paid leave on Mass. agenda

The Boston Globe reports:

Senate leaders this week will propose legislation to offer all workers in Massachusetts up to 12 weeks' paid time off to care for newborn and adopted children or sick family members, financed by an employee payroll premium of at least $1.50 a week.

The bill, which would pay employees their full salary, up to $750 a week, would create the most generous paid leave policy in the nation.

Massachusetts legislators haven't heard of what's going on in France.But,if you want high unemployment because you raise the costs of doing business this is a good way to go. The Blue state is quite good as losing population.
