Understanding Holiday Types
Holidays in the U.S. can vary significantly in their observance:
- Federal Holidays: Federal holidays are days when all government offices are closed nationwide, and most banks and post offices are closed. Many businesses and schools are also closed.
- State Holidays: Holidays observed by certain states, meaning that state government offices and schools in that state may be closed. However, they are not observed nationwide.
- Local Observances: Holidays or observances observed only in a specific city, county, or region.
- Observances: Widely recognized days to celebrate a specific event, but are not usually days off from work or school. These are often cultural or awareness days.
- Religious/Cultural Holidays: These are holidays related to religious or cultural traditions. Businesses may or may not be closed, and individuals may choose to take the day off based on personal preference.
