Depends on the job. There are lots of jobs that don't have paid time off, other than government, and sometimes Christian religious, holidays.
Blue-collar jobs tend to get less, unless they're unionized or in a shop worried about being unionized.
When I started working in an office (1985), it was common to get 2 weeks vacation for the first 5 years (adding 2 more with additional time up to 20 years) for general operational type jobs (more for execs of course). Now, people in the same job I had all that time ago are getting 4 weeks when they walk in the door. But I've only ever worked full time in one industry, so I can only speak for what I know about my companies or my friends who talk/complain about theirs.
