"About 25 percent of American workers in the private sector do not get
any paid vacation time, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. Another
33 percent will take only a seven-day vacation, including a weekend."

How does that work? They don't take the other weekend? Taking a
vacation for a week means five days of not working and four days
of weekend for a nine day total.

As per the rest, your imagination, as usual.

My imagination is working on figuring out where the other two
weekend days went.

This bit is further down in the article:
"The Travel Industry Association, the largest trade group representing the
industry, found that the average American expects his or her longest summer
trip to last only six nights. And it takes three days just to begin to
unwind, experts say."

Looks like they are using averages, not making a definitive statement.
