The comment added for France is not very ethical or scietifical, "7 weeks = The most significant vacation time of any country in the world.", since Italy and Finland have as much vacation and Austria even more...
Why make such a comment? And why state something wrong? .. Just being factual is enough I think..

A lot of incomplete information. In Brazil we have 30 days "by law", but we use to sell back 10 to make some money. Many people work 3 or more years without vacation, but they have to sign off the company papers as they had gone on vacation. We work more than 44h a week, many times more than 50h a week, and generally we don't receive payment for the extra time. One thing is the law, another one is the truth.

It's pretty sad the the USA has about the same number of vacation days as countries like Mexico, China, and Singapore!

This is very misleading because the U.S. isn't even required to give paid vacation.

This list is incorrect, as it mix up working days and calendar days for the most countries!!
Generally, governmental employees get more vacation, but paid less than private employed employees.
Furthermore, the list seems to be very "union/collective agreement friendly".
It also reflects "voluntary" days offered by some companies, and not just "eligible" days provided by law.

YOUR STATS FOR US UNITED sTATES CITIZENS IS SO MISLEADING. Those are correct for federal and state workers maybe, and cushy jobs. But for the average working man, try 3 or 4 days a year. Do some research instead of just printing what the U.s. Govt provided you
