A state-by-state analysis of policies governing paid leave and workplace rights for new parents released Thursday gave Wisconsin a grade of "C."

The report, conducted by the National Partnership for Women & Families, graded all 50 states and the District of Columbia based on laws that expand on federal leave and workplace protections.

Wisconsin's "C" grade indicated, by the report's determination, that the state has "put in place some, but not enough, supportive policies that expand upon minimal federal protections."

Seven other states earned a "C" in the assessment. Eleven earned a "B," 14 earned a "D" and 17 earned failing grades for not enacting any policies beyond existing federal protections. California received the highest grade, an "A-."

The analysis differentiated between laws affecting public and private sector workers.
