About Presidents' Day, and who gets the day off.
The federal holiday's official name is still Washington's Birthday. It moved from February 22 to the third Monday in February in 1971, under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, so it can never fall on Washington's actual birthday.
Many states and retailers call it Presidents' Day, and some states use it to honor Lincoln too.
Fewer than one in five private-sector workers with paid holidays gets Presidents' Day off (19%, BLS 2018). Government offices, banks and many schools close; most businesses stay open.
