how many vacation days do you get avarage each year in the US?

Here in Sweden most people get 5-6 weeks each year to spend and we have right by law to get 4 of them in a row during June-August if we want to.

By law? Zero.

Zero sick days, zero vacation days, zero maternity leave days, zero holidays. If you are salaried can work you ten hours a day, 365 days a year. 

Companies have option to elect to offer paid time off because it is good business, but I've known people that work at places where they haven't been paid for any off time in five years they've worked there.
