Abstract: Approximately 46 percent of workers in Duluth, Minnesota1 lack paid sick time, and low-income and part-time workers are especially unlikely to be covered. Access to paid sick time promotes safe and healthy work environments by reducing the spread of illness2 and workplace injuries,3 reduces health care costs,4 and supports children and families by helping parents to care for their children’s health. 5 This briefing paper presents estimates of access to paid sick time in Duluth by sex, sector of employment, occupation, part/full-time employment status, and personal earnings through analysis of government data sources, including the 2012–2014 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the 2012-2014 American Community Survey (ACS).
