Just curious: why do you think that employers aren't willing to create more jobs?
Because they aren't. We've seen countless examples of that.
Jobs keep going overseas.
I suggest you think about it some more. It's not as simple as the "offshoring" meme the left spouts off.
Every country is at a LEGISLATED vacation mandate of ~ 5 weeks per year, +/- 1 or 2, except the USA, where there is no vacation legislation for workers, and the ridiculously low 2 weeks is a "gift". Why are Americans so freakishly different again? And why do Americans love undercutting themselves this much?
why do you fucking communist whine so much? You want us to come cut yer steak for ya and chew it too. pussy?

We just cashed out a couple of weeks. I went shopping.
On a serious note, when my husband was with this one company in Ontario, the head honchos over in Germany were always on vacation. Rog had to contact everyone at their vacation destinies just to keep the Canadian plant going.
It was wild. It was like "does anyone work over there"?
And yet, Germany does almost as good as the USA in every aspect. Shows how meaningles is the American anti-vacation mentality.
Ah no. You are missing my point. I am not anti vacation whatsoever; I was my own employee when I was in the music industry. You have to take time off. You must take time to refresh yourself.
I think it's crucial to the health of any company. Small or large.
But there were certain individuals in this company my husband used to work for who had, albeit fair and square in negotiatians accrued the right to 4 months of vacation per year.
Well that's one third of a fiscal year. I watched this place crumble because they hit excess.
That's all.

YES!! We Can!!!
This is BS. You may not find the perfect job that offers benefits and vacation, but if you need money to provide for your family somebody is always hiring. I have worked jobs where I was the only non-felon there. If they can get jobs anybody can.
Past tense.
Not present. Most of the unemployed can't even get a bottom of the line job despite desperately trying.
While I usually agree with your posts I have to disagree here. I never claimed they were all good jobs, but people are hiring. Even if you have to flip burgers to support your family that is always an option.
Because they aren't. We've seen countless examples of that.

Report: America Lost 2.7 Million Jobs to China in 10 Years - US News and World Report
What does faux news have to say about this?
10 States Losing the Most Jobs to China | Fox Business
Well... shit.
Others don't get the same privileges, and are neglected and exploited. Usually they will be lucky to get barely above minimum wage and a week of vacation. (unpaid)
Get another job.
people aren't hiring
I should put that in there.
I have four weeks of vacation and 11 holidays off a year, plus six sick days if I need them.
Try taking some responsibility for yourself.
Do you work in the US?
Isn't the very idea of having to accrue and earn your vacation at work an odd concept?
No
It's called a fringe benefit. It's used as an incentive to keep your employees.
What I find odd is how you can be such a dunce as to not understand this. You must have gone to public school.
Gosh, you act as if that vouches for the rest of the private workforce.
Turns out conservationism and right winged motives tries to milk it as much as they can in terms of vacation days, jobs, and wages.
Now what?
The same guys who are giving you all of these privileges are tapping the American workforce dry.
Sorry bub, I don't consider the benefits I earn to be "milking as much as I can". They were negotiated as part of my compensation package in a voluntary arrangement.
Others don't get the same privileges, and are neglected and exploited. Usually they will be lucky to get barely above minimum wage and a week of vacation. (unpaid)
So now do you see why people are pushing for regulations? If the private sector refuses to voluntarily do it, then we are going to do something about it.

Well, I agree, 4 MONTHS are not a balance either. But starting with max. 2 weeks isn't either. The popular employer-rules-all is just as bad as the employee-rules-all, there must be a balance, like a supply-demand balance of vacation days. This is violated now like all other balances. Employers are cornering away more markets, and they are cornering away the vacation days too. Your husband's situation is a far outlier.

Uh, you haven't proven that Americans have an anti-vacation mentality, bub.
But every American I had asked says that they don't like vacations because they don't want their employers to incure the extra expense of it. (A self defeating shoot-your-own-foot attitude?)
Every American you have asked? And how many is that?
Here's a wee lesson in GAAP accounting: accrued vacation expenses already "cost the company". The accrual is recognized on the income statement and booked to accrued expenses on the balance sheet. When somebody takes vacation, the cash is the same as what would have been paid for regular salary, but the expense comes out of the accrual. When an employee doesn't take a vacation, it's actually MORE EXPENSIVE for the employer. The employer isn't able to use the accrual to offset expenses.

Very interesting. So, would a European style arrangement be like pre-booking a set 5 weeks of accrual for every year, and then applying everything you said? So the cost of the employee taking January off will be the same as taking December off? And it IS a very good news that taking the vacation is cheaper than not taking it.
The Cognitive Dissonance of the lefties in this thread is more astounding than usual. They whine that their aren't jobs while advocating for unearned benefits which will cause employers to hire even less people.
Go figure.

I don't know what you mean by pre-booking in this context. If you mean does it matter when the accrued vacation is used, the answer is no, as long as it is used within the fiscal year.
What does cause problems is the nonsense we see among public union employees who apparently never take one day of vacation over a 25 years and then cash out obscene acccruals. In the private sector, the convention is a capped acrrual, and then one stops accruing. This encourages people to take an annual vacation.
It's annual and I split it between furniture and I think I'll roll with another sapphire. 
So you make it up in other ways....
