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.
surely the ones where there's the most freedom. Careful about implying causation, though. could be a fluke
