Why the weekend count matters
A country's holiday total is the number people quote, but it is not the number they feel. A public holiday that lands on a Saturday is a day off you already had. In 2028, Haiti's 16 holidays give 12 actual days away from work , because 4 of them fall at the weekend. Some countries move a weekend holiday to the following Monday and some do not; where that happens the dataset records the day the holiday is observed.
Public holiday data from the date-holidays project, CC-BY-3.0. National public holidays only; regional days and observances that are not days off are excluded.
