Six weeks vacation is certainly very long for a US worker.  The cost of a long vacation for 3 is tremendous.

 

I worked over 20 years and never got anywhere near that length of time.

 

But the people coming to the US are usually working in countries with much better vacation options. In the UK my company gave everyone five weeks paid leave, plus 9 public holidays which you could 'bank' if you worked them. Plus you could carry up to two weeks over each year. As most of us worked four day weeks (ten hour shifts) that meant it was entirely possible to have up to nine weeks available one year. After ten years you got another half a week added on. 

 

And that was paid vacation - the management was also very open to people taking a couple of weeks to months unpaid for special circumstances. They were also open to people actually using their leave in big chunks if they wanted to. You had to ask well ahead of time of course so that cover could be arranged. 

 

It was one of the biggest shocks and disappointments to me how poor the US leave policy was in most companies.

 

And the maternity leave - six months paid, six months unpaid added on if you wanted it, guaranteed job safety and the option of returning with part-time flexible schedules.
