there is no kids anybody knows who have small children and sick days there is as much as a 15 to 16% reduction in productivity when your first child is born. that number increases with the number of children you. but in child rearing, the days are very long and short. it doesn't last when you smooth it over the course of a 30-year career the effect goes away. you find that working moms actually make up for that. before they have kids and after they have kids. >> all right, fascinating, thank you so much. legal victory for a nurse in maine. defying orders to stay under quarantine. now, she is talking about now, she is talking about refusing to ba
