Happy Third-Best Father's Day, Dad! (And More, In The MA Week In Review)

Baby delivery, boy saved from pool, Charleston vigils, good Samaritan strikes like Batman and more MA Patch news from the week that was.

So, dads, we’re not No. 1. Or No. 2.

But take heart: If you’re working in Massachusetts, you’ve got it better than fathers in all but two states, according to a WalletHub survey released over the past week.

That may not seem like great news, especially compared to the top two states — Minnesota and New Hampshire — but we’ll take it. Just ask the dads in Nevada and Mississippi, where WalletHub says there’s no worse place to be a working father.
