Via Ezra Klein, a look out how Americans stack up with other industrialized nations, when it comes to legislated paid vacations and paid holidays:

Ezra: "It took me a moment to figure out this graph, as the final two values are a bit confusing.  That last line, the one marked 10?  That’s Japan.  There’s no line for the United States because we don’t legislate any vacation.  That’s our country.  Aren’t you proud?"
