When I show figures like these (and there are many of them, parental leave, work hours, military spending, class inequality, etc) to my students, they are STUNNED. Most Americans are woefully ignorant of how pro-business U.S. policies are compared to the policies of like countries. I think this ignorance contributes to the resistance many Americans display when politicians and activists talk about improving protections for workers.

If our paid time off went up, our pay would likely go down
I'm fine with what we got

I created my own job so I wouldn't have to be on The Man's clock. When you work for The Man, The Man makes the rules. Thankfully we are all free in America to find/create a better situation more to our liking.

Earn more vacation days. If your employer thinks you're worth giving four weeks to, then you'll get it or he risks losing you to someone who will...unless you need the government to do everything for you.

Someone who gets weekends, every government holiday and summers off wrote that article.
I swear, people don't want to work anymore. They want to get paid, but don't want to work.
Don't complain when immigrants take your jobs.
Also some of those European countries have big gaps in the workforce, good luck with that when the old people are hungry and too old to work and the young are too lazy and want hand outs too.

30 days paid vacation? What the heck am I going to do with that? No way I'm missing 30 days of work plus holidays. I'd be constantly catching up, working twice as hard to make up for lost time. I get 15 days now plus holidays and never use them all. Of course, some of us actually like our jobs and want to work hard.

I don't mind the way that we have it here in the states, if we were mandated a certain minimum I doubt companies would give more than the mandated minimum, which would probably be less than I get currently.
If you are an hourly worker, you probably either get holidays/vacation or you are part time.

I get 26 weeks off per year, but work through whatever holidays happen to fall on my schedule.
