Prevalence of Paid Sick Leave Among Wage Earners, 2017 |
Description: |
|
Access to paid sick leave is an employment benefit that can help families through health difficulties, while also potentially reducing the spread of airborne infections. This report uses data from the 2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ, 2019), to estimate paid sick leave alone and in combination with paid vacation leave among wage earners in the United States across a range of socioeconomic characteristics including age, sex, race and ethnicity, poverty level, insurance coverage, occupation and industry. |
