8 federal holiday
федеральный выходной/праздничный деньФормально общенациональных праздников в США нет - их устанавливают штаты. На практике, однако, федеральные праздники и выходные дни отмечаются в большинстве штатов, хотя юрисдикция президента и Конгресса в этом вопросе распространяется только на округ Колумбия и на служащих государственных учреждений. Федеральными праздничными днями являются: День Нового года [ New Year's Day]; День Мартина Лютера Кинга [ Martin Luther King Day] - третий понедельник января; День рождения Дж. Вашингтона [ Washington's Birthday (тж Presidents' Day, Washington-Lincoln Day)] - третий понедельник февраля; День поминовения [ Memorial Day, тж Decoration Day]; День независимости [ Independence Day] - 4 июля или ближайший понедельник; День Колумба [ Columbus Day (тж Discoverers' Day, Pioneers' Day)] - второй понедельник октября; День ветеранов [ Veterans Day] - 11 ноября или ближайшая пятница; День благодарения [ Thanksgiving Day] - четвертый четверг ноября и Рождество [ Christmas Day] - 25 декабря. Если праздничный день приходится на субботу или воскресенье, ближайший рабочий день становится официальным выходным. Кроме того, отмечается День труда [ Labor Day] - первый понедельник сентября.English-Russian dictionary of regional studies > federal holiday
