In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.
Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults.
Well… factorys and stuff usually close down entirely for 3 weeks… but stores etc is still open… in sweden we also have alot of young people who have 10+ weeks of holiday who works a few weeks in the summer to help out, get some cash and work experience… ita highly regulated though… no shift work, no dangerous work etc… So society still runs like normal… but perhaps a bit slower…
