Newsweek article on Family Leave
The title of a recent Newsweek article "The Case for Paid Family Leave" http://www.newsweek.com/id/210252?GT1=43002 I find this article really staggering. Here is just a glimpse of what it talks about: "While the United States has been a leader on equal opportunity in the work place, a 2007 McGill University study found that we are far behind in terms of supporting parents and balancing work and family.
