Hi, Norwegian here, we have 5 weeks vacation per year, mandated by law. Oh, and the government takes 10% of your paycheck every month and pays it all out in July, so you have the money to go on vacation. Strong labor unions is the recipe.
American here. I work for a company that gives 5 weeks per year. It's great. I can take a 1-2 week vacation in the summer and various days and weeks off throughout the year. It doesn't hurt that my boss is great and almost never says no to time off. "Hey, this project is draining. I could really use a week off for mental recovery. It looks like nobody is off next week." "Go for it."
It's possible, fellow Americans. Unions are the way.
Nationalised oil probably helps too
We don't have oil and we have the same in Denmark. I have 7 weeks paid vacation, and of course free healthcare and education, etc.
Can I come over?
No, it is pretty standard European fare.
5 weeks by law in Finland as well
Same in France. We don't have oil but we have strikes.
4 weeks by law in the Netherlands, usually the union adds another week to that.
Nationalised natural gas probably helps too
j/k am Dutch
