Survey: 662M Vacation Days Went Unused In 2016

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – It's Memorial Day, which means many Americans have a vacation day.

A yearly survey by the research firm GFK shows the average American took 16.8 days of vacation in 2016.

That's up by about a half a day from the year before.

Those days are still far less than the average vacation days earned – 22.6.

That means last year Americans did not use about 662 million vacation days.
