AARP North Carolina Survey Finds Overwhelming Popular Support for Paid Sick Days
In
April 2008, AARP North Carolina released the results of what it
believes is the first comprehensive survey of workers in the state.
The
survey of 800 workers age 30-plus confirmed what the NC Paid Sick Days
Campaign already knows--that the public wants and needs paid sick days
to care for themselves and sick family members. Here's what the polling found: - Broad support for paid sick days: 79% of respondents said employers should be required to provide a minimum number of paid sick days for full-time employees.
- Significant caregiving responsibilities: One in six respondents is currently providing care to a family member or friend
- Employer Accommodation Lacking: Nearly 20% of those caregivers rated their employers as poor or fair in accommodating employees' caregiving responsibilities
