The data source is described pretty well. If you think the US should score lower this is your personal experience and not backed up by the data.

I do like how well they describe the data source (other than the unclear "main business city" part). It gives enough detail to know that the FMLA applies, which would total the 168 days shown here. FMLA is unpaid, however, but the chart says paid days, which should be zero. The "data souce" page does not specify that the leave is paid, so I'd suspect it's wrong for other countries as well.
