While we don't have the really long weekends in the US, we definitely have more public holidays than China. In China they have a total of 9 days worth of holidays. We have more than that. And if you hang in there long enough at most US jobs you get lots of vacation time...As a gummint worker with 21 years on the job I get 20 vacation days, 12 sick days, 2 personal days, 5 comp days and 9 holidays every year... Doesn't everybody??? No
