Leaving vacation days unused has become an unfortunate national pastime. America is not, however, monolithic. There are also more severely under-vacationed areas that give clues to why Americans pass on time off. And there are bright spots across the country to learn from and emulate. Equally varied are the travel preferences state-to-state. From the vacation budget to what goes in the suitcase, differences abound from coast to coast.
Great American Vacationers
When it comes down to it, Colorado, Virginia, and Arizona lead the nation in vacation taking.
Colorado workers hit a Rocky Mountain high, taking 20.3 vacation days on average, the most of any state and three days more than the national average of 17.2. The Centennial State’s employees report earning the most time in the U.S. as well, averaging 27.9 days, compared to 23.2 days earned on average nationally.
Coloradoans used 57 percent of the vacation days they used to travel, far more than the national average of 47 percent. While a strong majority of them still feel they have not seen enough of the country (74%), they are the second-least likely state after Minnesota (73%) to feel that way. With more than six national parks visited on average—many in their own backyard—Colorado workers are above the national average of four parks and close to the top of the list for all states.
Virginia comes in second for vacation usage with an average of 18.9 days taken. They also earn above the national average at 25.0 days. It may be the supportive work cultures that are helping Virginians put that out of office up. More than half (52%) of Virginians say their company cultures encourages vacation usage, the second-most encouraged state after Washington for the top spot, and far more than the 38 percent of all Americans who say the same.
Arizona clocks in at a close third, with 18.8 days used. Workers in Arizona are tied with those in Washington for the highest rates of happiness with their company, with a resounding 68 percent saying they are happy, compared to 54 percent nationwide. Their contentment at work translates to leaving work behind on vacation, as half (50%) of Arizonans unplug when they take time off.
Montana, Delaware, and Rhode Island are the worst at taking vacation. At the bottom of the list for vacation usage is Montana, whose workers take an average of 16.3 days. But employees in the Treasure State also earn less time, with an average of 21.8 days, the third-lowest of all states, behind Rhode Island and Delaware (both earn on average 21.6 days).

ShareTravel-Happy America
State of American Vacation 2018 found that workers who use the majority of their vacation days for travel are significantly happier than those who travel less or not at all. Americans taking all or most of their vacation days to travel report being 20 percent happier with their personal relationships and 56 percent happier with their health and well-being than those who travel with little or none of their vacation time. They also show greater evidence of success—and enjoyment—of their careers. Those who travel with all or most of their time are 28% happier with their companies and 24% happier with their jobs than those that travel with little to none of their vacation days. These frequent travelers are also 18% more likely to report receiving a promotion in the last two years.
Virginia, Colorado, and New Jersey are the states most likely to be unlocking these benefits with their vacation time.
Virginia is for lovers—of travel. Virginian’s use 64 percent of their vacation days to travel, the most of any state by a large margin and significantly higher than the American average (47%). Employees in the Old Dominion State earn more time off than the average American (earning 25.0 days and using 18.9). But unlike most Americans who are only using eight days to go explore, Virginians commit 12 of their days to seeing the world. They are supported by their employers in doing so. More than half (52%) say their companies encourage vacation usage, far more than the 38 percent of employees nationally who say the same.
South Dakota is at the bottom of the list. Perhaps when a state is home to some of the most breathtaking sights in America, from the Black Hills to the Badlands, its residents are more reluctant to leave. It is not that they do not want to travel—only 45 percent say they are happy with how they spend their time off, compared to 65 percent nationally. What’s worse is that just 20 percent of employees in the state report being happy with their health and well-being, far below the national average of 49 percent. Stress levels are higher in South Dakota as well: 64 percent report home-life stress, compared to 44 percent nationally; 78 percent report work-life stress, compared to 66 percent nationally. Unfortunately, the work culture in South Dakota is especially prohibitive, with 74 percent of workers saying their company culture says nothing is negative about vacation usage—just 62 percent of workers nationally say the same.
Missourians take more time than the average American, using 18.0 days of the 24.4 days they earn; however, just over five of those days are used for travel vacations. Though not as severe as South Dakota, they also report lower than average happiness with their health and well-being (39% say they are happy) and how they spend their time off (50% say they are happy).
