*Summary: *The lack of paid sick days in the United States hurts all working families. The impact, however, is felt most acutely by women, particularly those in low-wage jobs and women of color. More than half of Latinas https://www.nationalpartnership.org/our-work/resources/economic-justice/paid-sick-days/latino-workers-need-paid-sick-days.pdf and one-third of Black women https://www.nationalpartnership.org/our-work/resources/economic-justice/paid-sick-days/african-american-workers-need-paid-sick-days.pdf do not have the option to take paid time off when they are sick and seven out of 10 workers https://www.nationalpartnership.org/our-work/resources/economic-justice/paid-sick-days/paid-sick-days-improve-our-public-health.pdf in low-paid jobs do not have paid sick days.
