So it’s not that certain jobs get paid maternity leave, it’s that some states do. In new york, I get 2 of the bottom 3 things. It’s not ideal that these things aren’t nationwide, but in some cases, states will take it upon themselves to make things better. We also pay more taxes in new york which people complain about, but i like what I get for it.
Idk, your argument sounds similar to me to saying “look at the success of these 6 billionaires! Why are you judging our country by our bottom 40%!?”
Every working person in BC under the Employment Standards Act gets at least 5 days paid sick leave and 2 weeks paid vacation. If you have to get lucky with the right job to get benefits I don’t think you can lay claim to them as a country.
