Instead, most American women receive no pay during their maternity leave and rely on federal law (called the Family and Medical Leave Act or FMLA) to protect their job for up to 12 weeks after a birth or adoption.

Remodeling a bathroom can recoup you as much as 64% ROI according to Remodeling Magazine, while potentially making the home easier to sell as well. Both Remodeling Magazine and the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) put the average cost of a full-scale bathroom remodel around $18,000 nationally. However, the size of the bathroom is probably the biggest driving force behind the costs, with most bathrooms costing around $125 per square foot installed; the larger the bathroom, the higher the cost. So, while a 150 square foot Master bath will cost closer to $18,000, a small half bath would cost closer to $5,000.
