The Families and Work Institute's 2017 National Survey of Employers, which includes a nationally representative group of employees, found that 5% of employers overall — a number that's actually lower than it was in 2005 — and 9% of larger employers offered the benefit. "The value of that missed day has increased over time," Kramer said. When it was a 25-year-old recent graduate who was missing work because of a school closure, it didn't have as much of an effect."Now these people are in more senior roles, later in their career, and that's much more valuable in terms of their time lost."
"What's great about the Momazonians is they're bringing attention to the real issues people are facing," she said.
