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.  

That's a real bummer.

 

5 weeks by law (some employers even have more), which increases by age once you hit 40+ 50+ etc here in Sweden. 

I don't see it as a bummer at all. I don't think law should dictate relationships between employers and employees. If Americans want more vacation time, they are free to negotiate for it with their employers.
