Not only do Americans get less vacation days. More often then not they don't take them... often times you get paid BIG money if you don't.
There is a reason America is considered one of the hardest working countries in the world.
Not sure where Australia is but i'm sure you'd find this interesting.
Italy 42 days
France 37 days
Germany 35 days
Brazil 34 days
United Kingdom 28 days
Canada 26 days
Korea 25 days
Japan 25 days
U.S. 13 days
My worst has been zero days a year... and my best has been 2 weeks with additional mandatory vacations of a week or two in the summer called "Summer Shutdown." and another break the week of "Christmas" So 20.

That's some interesting stuff. Where did you find it?

Just somewhere online. It's about the numbers i've seen quoted in different studies.
The US generally does get off the fewest days of the year. We're also less likely to cash in the few vacation days and more likely to identify with our jobs.
It's a sociology of buisness thing. It's one of the reasons why it pays to open up a company in the US insetad of Europe. The USA is just more work minded itself.
Hell, I'm the last person to identify with any of the jobs i've had. I'm not going to take vacation though unless i've got a good reason to. Don't really see the point.
