2017 Holiday Schedule

The results of this survey reflect responses from over 500 Connecticut firms. The data is presented in two tables:
all companies/type of business
company size (number of employees)
Employers were asked if they observe other holidays or days off that were not included in the survey questionnaire.
The most common ones mentioned were Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Christmas Eve (including early closings), and floaters
(from one to three). As many as 3% of employers give at least one of these.
