"The United States is unique among many of its developed peers for its lack of a national law that guarantees all workers the right to earn paid sick leave. Just one state, Connecticut, has passed such legislation, although Illinois isn’t the only one to consider joining its ranks: California, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington are also considering laws."
