Over 3.5 million Florida workers do not have paid sick leave. Only 54% of Florida workers have paid sick leave. Four out of the top five industries in Florida, accounting for 59% of Florida workers, provide no more than 50% of their workers with paid sick days nationally. These findings come from analysis of 2005 National Health Interview Survey data, conducted annually by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
