Scheduling impact for United States
US federal holidays are relatively spread across the year, but the November-December cluster (Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) creates a 6-week window of reduced availability. Many holidays fall on Mondays (MLK Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day), making Monday your most disrupted weekday. State-level holidays add further variation.
