Holidays Shaping the Past Year for State Workers
The period ending April 1 saw thirteen legal holidays plus two extra days at Christmas and New Year, creating ten long weekends. Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Defenders Day, Columbus Day, and Christmas/New Year’s days produced several four and three day weekends, with midweek holidays Armistice Day and Thanksgiving also noted. Lincoln’s Birthday became a legal holiday this year, and despite February having an extra day, state workers logged two fewer workdays. For the average worker, double holidays loom in the coming nine months with Fourth of July on a Sunday and Christmas/New Year’s observed on Mondays.
