The United States continues to score at the bottom when it comes to average vacation time. The new study finds that the United States is the only country out of 41 where federal law doesn’t mandate vacation days.

On average U.S. workers with 10 years at a job who works five days a week receives 25 days off per year. That ties the U.S. with Singapore and puts the country one slot above China. Brazil, Finland, and France mandate that workers receive 30 days off per year.

Rightardia has mentioned that US labor laws are week. Wirehead, our technical editor, worked for a conservative company that offered three paid holidays a year. Although the owners were active in the GOP, they didn't even offer the Forth of July as a holiday. The owners were real Sunshine Patriots, that was for sure.
