You probably already know that today is Black Friday, one of the biggest shopping days of the entire year. But did you know that 48% of the US observes Black Friday as a paid holiday? That’s almost half of everyone in the country. Plus, 33% of all adults shop on Black Friday. Ebates has an interesting idea: they think Black Friday should be a national holiday. It would give people time to do the shopping they want, or to simply spend time with their families if they aren’t the Black Friday shopping type. The infographic also includes some interesting data around Black Friday. For instance, each Black Friday shopper spends an average of $300. Wow!
