In Europe it’s common to take an entire month off.

  EU-wide minimum vacation allotment is 4 weeks, right? With some member states going as high as 7? Plus holidays (another 10 days, I wanna say, in the case of France for example). The US has no minimum vacation time. Most folks go their whole career without ever seeing 5 weeks off in a single year. It's common for workers to start at 5-10 days. At the bottom end of the economic ladder, there's no paid time off at all, and if you try to take off a whole week off you might be told "no" with the alternative of "quit".

    Depends by country. But 4-5 weeks after first year for example. And then depending on local customs you could swap some special pay for more time off... And then public sector workers might get even more time off. And this is not counting any public holidays that might or might not fall on weekdays, which also depend on per country. Not to forget that sick days are well sick days. So it could be if you get sick on vacation you don't lose that vacation time...
