Okay, let's check the source on that...
https://cepr.net/images/stories/reports/no-vacation-nation-2019-05.pdf https://cepr.net/images/stories/reports/no-vacation-nation-2...
...and it's not in the pdf as far as I can tell. They just assert it without citation.
In sources they do list the BLS:
https://www.bls.gov/charts/employee-benefits/percent-access-paid-leave-by-wage.htm https://www.bls.gov/charts/employee-benefits/percent-access-...
Though assuming I'm reading that chart correctly that only says that 21% of Americans have no formal vacation days. Which I guess they could be rounding up to 1 in 4 while ignoring other types of paid time off like holidays, sick days, companies with "unlimited" PTO, etc.
The BLS numbers seem to indicate the actual figure is closer to 13% of Americans who have no paid time off all.
