U.S. paid vacation policy is embarrassing, chart reveals via YahooFinance
A recent study by D.C.-based think-tank Center for Economic and Policy Research found that out of the 21 richest countries in the world, the U.S. “continues to be the only advanced economy that does not guarantee its workers paid vacation.” The report added that “without a federal paid vacation policy, close to one in four Americans have no paid vacation… [and] no paid holidays.”
And even if employees are getting paid days off, the average private sector worker is only likely to see about 10 paid vacation days and 6 paid holidays — which is “far less than in almost every advanced economy except Japan.” ‘Distribution of those benefits is extremely unequal’ between full-time and part-time workersThe study also found a big gap between full-time and part-time employees and how they were granted time off.
