According to a new survey, Americans took the least amount of vacation time in almost four decades last year.

While this probably took a toll on their energy and productivity, it also took a toll on their pocketbooks as they gave up billions of dollars in compensation.

The report for the U.S. Travel Association said the average employee with paid time off used 16 of 21 vacation days in 2013, down from an average of 20 days off from 1976 to 2000.

Those 169 million days of unused vacation time was worth $52 billion in lost benefits. Oh I think people need more vacations!
