[quote=Anonymous]This is good for the economy. There'll be some crotchety jackasses who complain bitterly. But you know what's worse than paying for 16 weeks paid leave (through a small tax spread among all businesses)? Having the majority of 25-40 year old woman on your team quit right after she has a baby. And then not re-enter the workforce. Because it f-ing sucks to work after having a baby. Think about the economic effects of having a big chunk of the working population sit out during their prime working years. And then re-enter the workforce 10 years later on a lower salary track than they might have otherwise been on. It's way better for the economy, and less costly, to do whatever you can to keep those women off the mommy track/sahm path. [/quote]
