It’s so beautiful outside that spending the day in the office would be very boring. So why not take the vacation off? A new survey found that 31% of US workers don’t always take all of their vacation days. Americans have 12 vacation days on average each year, but they give back an average of 3 vacation days each year. They have fewer vacation days than workers in any other country surveyed.
So why don’t they use up their vacation days? Some say they would rather get money back for their unused days, and some busy workers say they just can’t leave their work.
The French take their vacations seriously. French workers get an average of 39 vacation days, and 40% plan to take at least one three-to four-week vacation. Workers in Sweden receive an average of 25 vacation days a year, but they can’t find time to use them all. More workers there return vacation days than any other country surveyed.
British workers have the longest working week in Europe, with 23 vacation daysthe shortest vacation. So they feel overworked. 75% say their weekends or vacations are too short and 40% would sacrifice a day’s pay for one more vacation day.
