In summary, the U.S. consistently ranks near the bottom: #36 in wage policies, #38 in worker protections, and #32 in rights to organize. These rankings reflect the fact that most other peer nations mandate rights and protections for all workers, while the U.S. regards them as privileges for people in “good” jobs.
The U.S. is the only economically-advanced nation to deny its workforce the fundamental right of paid-leave and we are the richest in the world.
