In the U.S., the length of family leave benefits is headed up--but the length of actual leave-taking appears headed down. Our article looks at the parental leave landscape with research from @rebecca-jack.bsky.social, @btimpe.bsky.social, and Danny Tannenbaum: bit.ly/49B9lrA

A stylized illustration of a diverse group of people in a workplace setting. Individuals are engaged in various activities such as working on laptops, writing, and discussing. One person is holding an infant. In the background, there are bookshelves, which suggest an office environment. The scene conveys a sense of collaboration and multitasking.

Many state governments and private employers have expanded paid or unpaid parental leave benefits. But how much leave do U.S. parents actually take? Not a whole lot, @rebecca-jack.bsky.social, @btimpe.bsky.social, and @dtannenbaum.bsky.social show in a new paper. bit.ly/4aR9gS6

New research: First-time moms not only cut back on hours--they move to progressively lower-paying firms during the decade after birth. Meanwhile, new dads keep climbing the ladder. More findings from @oiginstitute.bsky.social visiting scholar @btimpe.bsky.social‬ & co-authors bit.ly/4mONNvK

Another great visit to lovely Lincoln, Nebraska, where it has been warmer than any other place I have saved in my weather app. Thanks to the organizers of the Nebraska Labor Summit (Brenden Timpe, Danny Tannenbaum, and Becky Jack) for including our paper on an action-packed program!
