And about 33 million workers – 23 percent of the civilian workforce – get no paid vacation at all. The newest No-Vacation Nation report updates previous CEPR research (going back to 2007) that compared the availability of paid time off for US workers and their international counterparts. Twenty-five of the countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) require employers to provide at least 20 paid vacation days per year. The latest No-Vacation Nation report, written by CEPR Senior Research Fellow John Schmitt, calculates that employers, on average, provide only 10 days of paid vacation per year. Part-time workers and workers in small firms are also far less likely than full-time workers or workers in larger firms to have employer-provided paid vacation.
