As a European it makes me proud to get a direct shout out from Linus 🫶🏻

In the US, because the minimum required by law is so low, the actual distribution of vacation days varies a lot from employer to employer.

This chart, updated annually, shows the average by length of service time: https://www.bls.gov/charts/employee-benefits/paid-leave-sick-vacation-days-by-service-requirement.htm

Seems like the average for people in the private sector with 1 year is 7 days sick, 11 days vacation.

This fact sheet, as of 2021, breaks down the details a bit more: https://www.bls.gov/ebs/factsheets/paid-vacations.htm

Table 1 breaks it down pretty well, with people at the 1 year mark hovering mostly between 1-3 weeks, people at the 5 year mark mostly between 2-4 weeks, and people with 10 years at 3+ weeks.

People with government jobs, which is about 15% of the workforce and about 20 million workers, tend to get better benefits, including paid time off.
