The Higher Your Salary, the More Time Your Employer Will Pay You Not To Work (qz.com)
The best-paid workers in the US not only make more money than many of their colleagues, they also tend to get more paid vacation days. An anonymous reader shares a report: An annual survey of of employee benefits conducted by the US government shows that, in 2017, nearly half of the people in the top 25% of earners received at least 10 days of paid vacation. The bottom 25% was not so lucky -- only around a tenth of them received such generous leave. Paid vacation time is often overlooked in measures of pay inequality in the US, because the value of time off does not appear in the household income statistics.
Here in Europe we get 120 paid days off per year! What a country!
I'm in Canada and I get 365 days off per year!
Oh wait, I'm homeless...

Definitely. All Americans work 8-7 and get 10 days of vacation a year. I've never been there, but I read it on the Internet.
It is well known that the US has the highest percentage of first post. It is the reward we get in exchange for only getting 10 days of vacation per year.
I get 37 days and I sure as hell am not anywhere near the top 25% of earners in my country.
Greatings from socialist Europe.
Was that a typo or just a play on words, you can decide :)
That's why when people joke "Canada has two seasons, Winter and Summer." It isn't a joke, it's been 8 months of straight winter.
You clearly don't get it. The reason it's a joke is that really there is only one season. We had a _high_ of -11C the other day which is not bad given it's about the 109th January today.
