I'm not disputing that, but even if it's a mandate it's not always enforced.
And I could be wrong on this but I remember reading somewhere that certain counties mandate it, but again not 100%. I don't think it was statewide or anything though. Also thought I read that only something like 5-15% of workers don't get paid vacation, so it's not really a huge margin of people, and those jobs are mainly minimum wage/dead-end jobs where you're sort of expected not to stay there too long.
Not that I have anything against mandating it. It would probably be a good thing with very limited downsides. But I doubt it'll happen soon in a country where corporate business has so much power
