Sharita Gruberg, Vice President, National Partnership for Women & Families: “The Biden Administration knows work family supports like #childcare are essential to securing America’s role as a leader in technology and manufacturing.”

February 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and president of the National Partnership for Women and Families, Jocelyn Frye, is on talking about the impact of this law on women in the workplace.

“The National Partnership for Women and Families, a nonprofit advocacy group, estimated that over 10 million American workers in 2022 needed leave but did not take it. It found that an estimated two-thirds of those workers ‚Äì or about 7 million Americans ‚Äì did not take needed leave because they could not afford it.”

“Jessica Mason, a senior policy analyst at the National Partnership for Women and Families, tells KMOX that it’s a big issue, because almost every single person in the U.S. is going to need time away from their job.”
