You only get three weeks paid vacation each year? Ouff

In the US, most people have 2-3 weeks of paid vacation for the first few years they're with an employer.  If you stay with the same company for several years or more, you may get to 4 weeks per year.  

This is not set by law, in most US jurisdictions.
