Do nearly half of Americans even have days to take for vacation?

What do you mean have days? Have vacation time?

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, paid time off.

Forbes:

Twenty-eight million Americans don’t get any paid vacation or paid holidays

The average American worker gets 11 days of paid vacation per year

On average, U.S. workers get eight days of sick leave per year

The average employee in the U.S. receives an average of 7.6 paid holidays

That’s barely enough days to consider traveling.
