    • Cantor and others, in Bolancing the Need of Families and Employers, 2000, find that black women have higher rares of leave coverage than white women. This probably reflects the fact that black women are more likely than white women to work in large firms, be covered by a union, work for the Federal, State, or local government, and work full time; all of which would make them more likely to be covered by maternity leave policies (authors'analyses of the 2000 and 2001 Current Population Survey; detailed results available on request).
