(Bloomberg) –In the last few years, the U.S. — a country with no federal requirement for paid family leave — has seen a parental leave boomlet. Last year alone, 14 major employers, including Apple Inc. and Citigroup Inc., announced new or expanded policies that covered an estimated 2.4 million workers.
But in a nation where over 80 percent of working people don't get any time off to care for newborns, the rise in coverage has been uneven, according to a report released Thursday from Paid Leave for the United States, an advocacy group that catalogs parental leave policies at major U.S. companies.
