With the arrival of the new year and the end of the Christmas vacations and time for reflection, many people are looking at the calendar to find out about the next vacations.
In the United States, federal holidays are those days when non-core businesses close and workers can enjoy a day off. These vacations are not for everyone, as those who work, for example, in restaurants, hotels or any other emergency or holiday-related activity, will have the opportunity to work.
Federal agencies such as institutions, schools, banks, businesses for the most part and the US Stock Exchange will be off.
