Juneteenth became a federal holiday just three years ago, so there’s still a lot of confusion about its impact on people’s day-to-day lives.
If you’re planning to get any business done with your state or local government, you can pretty much rule that out, but when it comes to private businesses, it’s more of a mixed picture. Many companies, including Zillow, Nike and Lyft, give workers the day off, while others (like Amazon) have not, only encouraging workers to not make meetings today.
