How the working days in March 2028 are counted
No federal holiday falls in March 2028, so every weekday is a working day and the count is simply the number of Mondays to Fridays in the month: 23. With 23 weekdays it is one of the longest working months of 2028.
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 23 as the federal baseline for March 2028 and adjust it for your own calendar.
March 2028 next to the months around it
March 2028 has 23 working days, three days more than February 2028 (20) and three days more than April 2028 (20). A 31-day month has 21, 22 or 23 weekdays depending on the day it starts on, and a Wednesday start gives this one the full 23, and the lack of a holiday settles the final figure.
March is the third month of the first quarter. Q1 2028 has 63 working days in total: January 20, February 20 and March 23. That is 504 working hours for the quarter at 8 hours a day, out of 2,000 for the whole of 2028.
