Ten days, plus a week at Thanksgiving, two weeks for Christmas, a week for Mardi Gras, and a few other bank holidays. But you’re really not supposed to use the ten days unless you’re basically dying.
It’s our Spring Break from school, though usually a four day weekend for Easter will actually be called spring break. Non-service industry jobs will typically have just Mardi Gras day off and maybe Lundi Gras too, especially if the parades would make it impossible for them to get home from work.
To be fair that isn't bad. Im from the UK and looking at moving to the US and it's known in the UK that the holidays are usually significantly less than the UK. To note, I get 33 days plus bank holidays (which is a lot for the UK) but you also seem to get quite a good amount.
Are you a teacher? That’s why I have that much time off, otherwise there’s very few jobs in the US with that amount of vacation days.
But honestly, most of us make up for it with unpaid overtime anyways. And based on many teacher salaries, it’s clear that we are just getting paid for the ten months, even if they split the paychecks over twelve.
3 weeks vacation plus 10 paid holiday days, plus several weeks of sick time.
The vacation time is earned and spent by the hour, and we also get comp time (everything worked over 40 hours in a week is added to your paid time off).
So if I time everthing right, and work a little extra before leave, I can take a 10-day vacation and maybe only use 5 vacation days
Hospital-based nurse; if a public holiday fell on one of your regular shifts, you worked. There were ten recognized Federal holidays which entitled you to extra pay if you worked that day.
As for personal leave, I was hourly so I accrued a set amount per pay period. You start with zero Paid Time Off (“PTO” is the acronym you’ll see a lot) at the beginning of your job. I think it came out to 12-ish personal days (rather, 12 eight-hour shifts), to use as you see fit. This is what we use for all personal leave: vacation, sick days, need to get your unwell kid from school, etc. So, we tend not to use them all up. My hospital let us roll over ten days/year.
30 days accrue per year, but every new fiscal year your days accrued is reduced to 60 if you’re over. Plus bank holidays, so it’s actually more like 45 a year. Also, unlimited time off for medical
7-11. It’s different for everyone. It usually is calculated by the hours you work in a year although I am not 100% sure. So I have 2 weeks and a half for the year. However my manager is amazing and will allow us to take more but if there’s no PTO left then those would be unpaid. She also stretches the hours so they can last pretty long.
20 days vacation, 11 paid holidays, two floating/personal holidays, and unlimited sick days (if you are out sick for an entire week after that it has to become a formal LOA like FMLA, for example.)
I get four weeks of PTO/sick time, plus ten company holidays that everybody gets off. One perk that’s a little more rare is that if I ever get selected to be on a jury, I get full pay no matter how long the trial ends up going.
I work for a fortune 100 company in the biotech industry

Last job I had 18 days, before that a month. Never used either of them in their entirety though.
Why didn't you use them all?
Never felt like I needed it. Those were in addition to Federal holidays so it wasn’t really needed.

A week for Mardi Gras? Is that standard in LA?

Literally: unlimited. In practice: I'm expected to keep it at 4-6 weeks/year.
