22. paid leave = less competitive
"some argue that paid leave leads to less competitive economies"

Yeah, I've often wondered: where are the studies that back up that assertion? Do the people who make this assertion think American workers are, by nature, slackers?

Are there studies that demonstrate that job security, paid leave, and other benefits (not to mention a livable wage) would have a positive effect on workers' overall productivity?
