Even if you have PTO hours, you have to get it approved. They do not have to actually approve it. It can be there just for show. It is not guaranteed.

Also, all the economic data is intentionally manipulated. They do not exclude millionaires and billionaires weighting the average, but they do exclude all unemployed people.
