Thanks for the insight. It makes sense for small companies then to not offer paid parental leave, as they really cannot afford that most of the time (thinking of cafes, restaurants, small shops at the corner, etc.)

The more progressive states do have government funded parental leave, but it is not much compared to other countries. The west coast states and the northeast states offer paid parental leave, and the amount you get partially depends on what you used to earn (and hence contributed to the parental leave taxes). You get 18 to 20 weeks off after the baby is born within the first year of life, generally.
