In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.
Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.
Thanks, this makes sense. I assume the factories stockpile a bit to get through the slow month while they’re shut down.
When talking about the young people’s holiday, is that the break from school rather than a work holiday? So they have a summer job? In the US we differentiate “summer break” from school vs “vacation” or “pto… paid time off” for a break from work. Just trying to make sure I’m conceptualizing this right.
