- The fullest month is July with 23 working days; the lightest is February with 19.
- Counts use nationwide holidays only — regional ones (a state day in the US, a cantonal day in Switzerland) reduce the total further where they apply.
- Weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Half-day customs — a Christmas Eve afternoon, a Bayram eve — are not subtracted.
Which holidays are subtracted
The 9 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Mexico public holidays 2026 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Mexico's holiday system works:
- Mexico distinguishes statutory rest days (días de descanso obligatorio) from civic dates: only the former close workplaces. Several were moved to Mondays by law — Constitution Day, Benito Juárez’s birthday and Revolution Day now always create long weekends.
- Cinco de Mayo is famously not a national day off — it is a statutory holiday only in Puebla, where the battle took place.
- The presidential transition adds 1 October as a rest day every six years — a periodic entry worth double-checking in election years.
