In the USA, it is the market that drives companies to give us days off. There are no laws specifically telling companies what they are supposed to offer. It is customary though to give time off in an effort to entice employees to work for them.
The problem with switching companies is they make you start all over again with the time off. I've been working for 20 years in IT and still only get 2 weeks vacation. Last year I couldn't take any of it because they had me traveling all over the place and I couldn't get things worked out where I could take some time off. I work somewhere else now, but this was just a contributing factor, not the entire reason.
