Why is there only one day off on May Day in 2019?
Recently, the general office of the State Council issued a holiday arrangement for 2019, which has been discussed by many netizens. Many people have also noticed that the May Day holiday in 2019 is not a day off, but only a day off. This has made many farmers who plan to go out on May Day next year to say that they are very hurt. In the past, may day was a "Seven Day Golden Week", but later it was changed to three days. Then may day in 2019 will only be off for one day, which makes many farmers laugh, "May Day has become a real labor day. '
In fact, we can see that the five-day holiday in 2019 is a good one-year holiday. In fact, as early as the new year's day in 2014, there was only one day off, because it was also Wednesday, and there was no continuous rest.
But some netizens said that this is also a good thing. Because in the May Day holiday, the experience of traveling is not very good. Although may day has time to go out to play, but many tourist attractions are relatively large. In addition, the road may be more 'congested' and face the embarrassment of 'crowded people'. In this way, you can take advantage of this day to have a good rest and not to go out to play, so as to save the embarrassment of 'crowded people' and 'traffic jam'.
But there are also ways for friends who want to go out. We can ask for leave on Monday, May 29, 2019, and Tuesday, May 30, 2019, or take leave from Thursday, May 2, 2019 to Friday, May 3, 2019. In this way, we can have five days of vacation on weekends, so that we can have time to go out and play. And you can take advantage of this time to go home and visit your family.
It turns out that the real reason is that this year's Labor Day falls on Wednesdays. It can't reach the weekend before or after the weekend, so it's only one day. In this way, there's no need to make up for the weekends around Labor Day this year. Then, it's an extra day off~
