Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America.

Working with people in other countries it really make me jealous they have a notional holiday, seeming every month where the business is closed. Really wish the US had more days like that
As far as I can tell the US has only slightly less than an average number of public holidays, but the amount of PTO is close to zero for a lot of people.
EU working time directive requires 28 paid days off per year (including public holidays) as a minimum.
Just to be slightly clearer (unless it’s changed since Brexit) those 28 days may or may not include public holidays at the company’s discretion.

We have fewer holidays than medieval peasants. Economic historians vary between 150 and 250 work days vs 261 for a Mon-Fri job.
