Quoted: Forget about two-week vacations. Many working people will be lucky to have a day-cation. While cyclical factors like gas prices and the slumping job market have something to do with this, the real culprits are longstanding trends that have altered the structure of our economy. As a result, more Americans view something that used to be an entitlement—paid time off—as an unaffordable or unavailable luxury.
