Americans: vacation-deprived
Americans earn the least number of vacation days among Western countries and are the most likely to not to use their time off, says Expedia.com.
The company’s sixth annual “Vacation Deprivation” survey showed Americans are likely to give back more than 574 vacation days this year. Each American will leave an average of four vacation days on the table.
The survey found one-third of Americans do not always take their vacation days, despite more than one-third reporting they feel better about their jobs after a vacation.
Said Sally McKenzie, vice chairman and general manager of Expedia.com:
“Vacation deprivation in America is at an all-time high.”
The study found Americans receive the fewest vacation days per year on average with 14 days; the British get 24 days and the French get 39.
Ms McKenzie’s recommendation is that Americans take a cue from the Europeans, particularly the French who have repeatedly been No. 1 in numbers of vacation days.
