How the working days in November 2026 are counted
Two federal holidays fall in November 2026: Veterans Day on Wednesday 11 November 2026 and Thanksgiving Day on Thursday 26 November 2026. Together they take two weekdays out of the count, leaving 19 working days from 21 weekdays. The Friday after Thanksgiving is not a federal holiday, so it counts as a working day here even though many employers close for it.
The rule is the same on every page here: count Monday to Friday, then take off any federal holiday that lands on one of those days. The holiday dates are the ones the US Office of Personnel Management publishes for federal pay and leave. State holidays, religious holidays and company closures are not included, and other countries have different lists entirely, so treat 19 as the federal baseline for November 2026 and adjust it for your own calendar.
November 2026 next to the months around it
November 2026 has 19 working days, two days fewer than October 2026 (21) and three days fewer than December 2026 (22). A 30-day month has 20, 21 or 22 weekdays depending on the day it starts on; a Sunday start gives November 2026 21.
November is the second month of the fourth quarter. Q4 2026 has 62 working days in total: October 21, November 19 and December 22. That is 496 working hours for the quarter at 8 hours a day, out of 2,000 for the whole of 2026.
