As workers travel for the holidays and spend time with their loved ones, many may find themselves scraping the bottom of their PTO. But do paid vacation days always have to feel like a precious commodity?

After examining annual statutory paid leave and paid public holidays laws in each country, Resume.io found that the U.S. had the second lowest number of paid vacation days, only beaten by the Federal States of Micronesia.
