The image says that it is including public holidays, but Spain’s number is not.

There are 14 mandated public holidays (8 at national level, 4 by region and 2 local ones).

And Belgium is also missing 12 days since the workweek is 38 hours but in effect that's just given out as 12 more holidays.

That wouldn't make sense in this graph as then you'd get into the minutia of that happening everywhere like Québec being 37.5h as full time

But that should be accounted for, otherwise the whole graph is pointless.

BTW Hungary is also off, because the amount of days off depends on your age.

The only real info from this whole map is that everywhere in the world except the US there is a concept of holidays.

Well the graph has to have a standard of what it's measuring. Hours contributing to full time work and government issued days off are very different things especially when people are still working a typical five day week.

I don't agree that the graph is useless outside of the US example just because of these small differences. It still shows what it primarily is trying to show, that being legally provided days off.
