"Wealthier U.S. workers tend to have more paid vacation available and are more likely to actually take it than lower-income workers. Higher-paid professional jobs are generally more likely to offer substantial PTO, whereas low-wage workers are disproportionately in jobs with little or no paid vacation.

Higher-income salaried professionals: often get more PTO and greater flexibility, and often take longer vacations.
Lower-income/hourly workers: often have fewer paid days off, less scheduling flexibility, and greater financial pressure not to miss work.

Using the average U.S. worker's annual hours as the benchmark may overstate the amount of work done by wealthy Americans. A high-income American professional may often work significantly fewer hours annually than a lower-income American while earning vastly more per hour."

Which is why you never find murcans in Lying Shemale's socioeconomic class over here, only the upper-middle class and upwards. Lying Shemale's socioeconomic class is stuck with 2 days drunkenly embarrassing themselves at a Holiday Inn in Mexico once a year and thats it.

But you always have arrangements that nobody's heard of, so yeah...
anyway, paid parental leave in Sweden is 480 days. Each parent has to take at least 90 of those days that they cannot transfer to the other due to a concern for family values, childrens upbringing and promoting that both parents spend at least some quality time with their kids.

So all swedes get 10 times more parental leave than your stated, unusually generous circumstances for US workers.

A bit wrong there, they get 490 days paid parental leave - the additional 10 days are for homework and exam help.
