The survey found that only 22% of employers provide Veterans Day as a paid holiday for employees, much lower than other major holidays like New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, Independence Day, Christmas, and Memorial Day. While not a common paid holiday, Veterans Day is one of the most commemorated holidays by employers after Christmas and Thanksgiving, with 11% holding events or activities for Veterans Day. The types of activities varied widely from emails thanking veterans to company-sponsored meals and gifts for veteran employees.
