Minnesota annual 20 week compassionate leave is the states winter vacation program

For a state payroll tax increase of only 1 %, Minnesotans will be able to turn into winter Texans for the cold months of November, December, January, March, while receiving 80% of their normal pay from the state.

About a third of of Minnesota employment is seasonal, farming, construction. About a third of is state employed, and the rest are Somalies working at day care centers. Every body in a company with more than 25 employees is eligible. Companies with real year round purpose will have to hire 40 % more staff.

I do not understand the economics 1 % payroll tax supporting a 40 % loss in labor efficiency, so I guess they are working on federal subsidies.
