Americans continue to lead the world when it comes to prioritizing work over vacation: 53% don't plan on using all of their time off this year, despite receiving fewer days off—just 12, annually—than any country surveyed in a recent report by Expedia.
And it may be starting to take a toll. The number of Americans feeling deprived of vacation time is at an 11-year high of 65%, according to the survey. The next highest reading—64%—was in 2021, during the height of pandemic lockdowns.
