edit: Is it correct that in the US, holidays of a week are the rule? Here, it is more like 20 (lawful minimum for adult workers) to 31 days.
I would say that 2000 hours is a standard work year here in the US, which comes out to about 2 weeks vacation, but I don't think this is required. My company also has a PTO policy where we earn 8 hours of paid vacation for every pay period, which is roughly 2 weeks, but that doesn't happen everywhere.
I get 17 days of discretionary holidays each year (one earned per month, plus five bonus per year), plus five or so standard holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.
