The average American is lucky to get 11 vacation days from their employer each year.
In many parts of Europe, it’s common for workers to take off weeks at a time, especially during the summer. Envious Americans say it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit.

It's mind boggling that there's no minimum PTO law in the US
Not when you remember that capitalism is the state religion.
Praise Cash, from whom all blessings flow.
There's not a law because most professional jobs have PTO at level that would meet any mandatory minimum level.
So it would affect nothing for those jobs and be beneficial to others to have those minimums
What would you say the minimum would be?
In Denmark it's 5 weeks, a lot (most?) get 1 week extra, some get more days every year they stay at the same employer, and a few get more (common in banking sector).
In the US, probably 2 as a minimum.
