The Sound of Ideas - No Vacation Nation

It's true that workers in European countries get more paid vacation time than U.S. workers. But did you know that many here don't even use the time they have? Studies show U.S. workers are leaving billions of dollars in vacation time unused. It's not good for workers and it's really not good for companies, either. What's causing people to give up their time off? And what are some local firms doing to encourage vacations?
