This finding will only re-establish what most Americans already knew about themselves and the truth about their annual vacations.
A recent survey by travel aggregator site TripAdvisor shows that when it comes to taking vacations or holidays , an average American struggles not to work or keep in touch with their bosses.
While 77% employed U.S. respondents admitted they had worked on
vacation over the past year compared to just 40 percent in the other
nations polled - Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan,
Russia, Spain and the UK
The numbers are an indication in themselves why we are one of the most over worked, overstressed nation with the lowest amount of vacation time.
