It’s an astonishing fact, but the United States is the only country with an advanced economy that does not provide some sort of paid leave for new mothers. So we’ve decided to begin a progress report that will highlight paid parental leave policies at American employers...We’re starting with responses we received from some of the largest companies, which you’ll find detailed below [as of 2 Mar 2013 these are: ConocoPhilips, Fannie Mae, Ford, General Electric, General Motors, Google, Hewlett-Packard] The chart is still a work in progress and will be updated. (Among the companies we’re waiting to hear back from are Exxon Mobil, Wal-Mart, Chevron and Berkshire Hathaway.)
