that can't be right ? anyone from the US care to confirm this ? even for them it sounds absurd
It's by federal/national level. Most states have some form of it. You can surely guess which ones don't.
How many states actually provide paid leave?
Looks like 10. California, Washington, Colorado, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, New York, Delaware, Jersey, Illinois.

Certainly not "most states", so you're right to be skeptical.
