Reading these figures

The working day count treats Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, which is the standard working week in United States Virgin Islands. Only nationwide holidays are deducted; a date observed in one region alone still counts as a working day here, because a national figure that moved with regional calendars would describe nobody accurately.

The longest working month is October at 22 days; the shortest is November at 18. That spread of 4 days matters for anything billed or accrued monthly, which is why payroll and capacity plans that assume an even year drift by the end of it. The thinnest quarter is Q1, carrying 59 working days across January, February, March.

Against the 204 countries covered here for 2025, United States Virgin Islands's 18 nationwide holidays put it above the median of 12, around the 94th percentile. The range across all countries this year runs from 3 to 48.

The holidays produce 10 breaks of three consecutive non-working days or more. The longest runs 5 days, from 17 April 2025 to 21 April 2025, built around Maundy Thursday and Good Friday and Easter Monday. A further 3 working days are stranded between a holiday and a weekend, where one day of leave buys a break of four days or more. The full breakdown is here.
