“The most important detail along those lines is that the six weeks of maternity leave would be folded into the unemployment insurance that employers are already required to have for their workers.”
What do you think that will do to the cost of unemployment insurance?
I predict that it won’t do much, because I think unemployment benefits don’t pay enough to make it worthwhile for most people to take off work for six weeks.
Unemployment insurance will get more expensive and that will be passed onto the consumer.
