But most of the bottom quarter of earners are part-time workers. I'm actually surprised that many part time employees are given paid time off at all.

  >I'm actually surprised that many part time employees are given paid time off at all. And there's the rub: it's expected over here.

    Or as in Sweden, if you work hourly you usually don't get PTO. Instead you get it as cash, about 12% extra on the salary a normal worker would get.

    It's not just expected, it's the law! 28 days, though 8 of them can be the standard public holidays, leaving 20. It's pro rata for part time employees, and often given as cash to people on temporary contracts.
