My Wikipedia research focused on the entry titled: Work-Life Balance. In this article, there are informative statistics that measure how U.S. workers reported difficulty balancing work and family. This report specifically looked into the five states: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. These five states reportedly allow paid time off for maternity leave under the state’s Temporary Disability Insurance (TDI). This was one of if not the only positive report in the entry. The final section of the article briefly describes Work-Life Balance in the European Union and how it differentiates from the U.S. My editing proposal is that rather than briefly mentioning the contrasting points found in the European Union, and how their policies are more productive after listing out the universal disapproval of Work-Life Balance in the U.S. that the article focuses on how the U.S. can do things differently to satisfy its workers. By though process is that by doing this that employers will be able to inform themselves on policies that are not only favorable to their employees, but also result in a more productive or positive work place. The following quote I found extremely applicable to this article: A man had a choice, after all. He devoted his life to his work or to his wife and children and home. It could not be combined; not in this day and age. In this insane world where God was second to income and goodness to wealth.” ― Richard Matheson, Collected Stories, Vol. 1 It is my hope that if an employer were to have access to hoe to promote a positive or productive work place that this quote could be disproved so that employees can find a balance.
