How Many Work Days In A Year

I am listening to the 4 hour work week for the 6th time. I love the concept.

Lets look at a working year.

52 Weeks in a year. How many vacation, sick and holiday days do we get off. Starting off with 2 weeks is common, plus some sick and holiday pay. So lets say we get 3 weeks vacation, 5 sick days and 6 holiday days. Since we can't do anything when we are sick lets not count the sick days. Better yet, lets say we are very healthy and don't ever use sick days.

So that comes to 48 weeks a year that we work. Getting 3 weeks for vacation and a little over 1 week for holidays.

48 x 5 = 240 work days a year

Not bad.

But what if we could work 4 days a week instead of 5. It could be longer days to make up the 40 hours or it could be you just don't work full time.

48 * 4 = 192 work days a year

So you can get an extra 48 days a year for yourself if you can work 4 day work weeks.
