WASHINGTON - Planning a summer vacation? Congratulations.

A study from the Center for Economic and Policy Research says that the United States is the only advanced economy in the world that doesn't guarantee workers paid vacation time.

According to the study, entitled "No Vacation Nation Revisited", only 49 percent of full-time, low-wage workers in the country get any vacation time at all, while 90 percent of high-wage workers do.

That means, according to the study, that 23 percent of American workers get no paid vacation time.
