Why We're Pausing Work (and You Should Too)

Over the past decade, unused vacation days have surged. In 2015, 55% of American workers forfeited time off, leaving 658 million days unused. Project: Time Off highlights this trend and urges action. Research shows using all vacation days could generate $223 billion in spending and support 1.6 million jobs. Studies also link vacation planning to greater personal and professional happiness.
