Summer R&R - Maybe Not
Many Americans will not be taking all of the vacation they are entitled to this year. According to a recent survey, about 43% of respondents said they would not be taking all of their vacation. 6 percent expect to use none; 20 percent expect to use fewer than half of their eligible days; and 28 percent expect to use more than half of their vacation days. While this survey is noted as being "unscientific," a few other articles support the findings. According to the results from the sixth annual "Vacation Deprivation" survey by Expedia.com, U.S. workers expect to abandon an average of four accrued vacation days in 2006, up from three in 2005.
