Uh, and so you, we know it may not be exactly that, you know, cut off at fighters, but I think what the point is that too few days may not be enough for folks.

You know, if you only give somebody one or two, two days off, what is that really?

And then I don't know, there's too many places that do that.

And usually they kind of come in those chunks, right?

Is you might have a week of a PTO or 10, you know, certainly vacation days tend to come in that, right?

You know, not too many places do the, you have free vacation days.

It's typically you have a week or two, and then they'll kind of layer on top of that a few sickly days as well.

Some places though, some employers just do flat out.

There's 15 days of PTO and you take them however you want.

So I think that's the general sense we have is that, you know, too few days is just not, you can't use them as much, right?

You know, anything less than a week, you're really not getting much more than potential vacation time, right?

Or if you do get sick or you could get sick and you have to stay home and take care of them for a few days, now you have zero vacation time left.

So I think that's a reasonable, and again, but that's not, that's kind of our sense of it.

We didn't test that.

test that in any way, shape or form.

You know, once you start getting up to six to 10 days or more than that, now you're talking about, you know, I can take a few days of sick leave if I need them and I still have vacation days.

So that's the way I think about it.

Yeah.

And so one thing, my caveat here is that these are average, what we call kind of average treatment effects, right?

So depending on which specification we're looking at, if we're looking at men or women or the whole sample together, you know, you might see that take just one of our kind of a
