The average American is lucky to get 11 vacation days from their employer each year.

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.

    And yet workers with children need, at minimum, things like FMLA

    I do not agree that everyone’s baseline is or should be the same.

      Why should only workers with children get FMLA? Why can’t someone caring for their parents get the same?

      That’s what GP meant.
