How many working days in year 2007?

Because 2007 is not a leap year, it has 365 days.

Let's remove 52 saturdays and 52 sundays. It remains 261 days.

Now, let's remove 8 public holidays that do not fall during a weekend and we obtain 253 working days in 2007.

Here is the list of these 8 public holidays:

1. Nieuwjaar : Monday, 1 January, 2007
2. Goede Vrijdag : Friday, 6 April, 2007
3. Tweede Paasdag : Monday, 9 April, 2007

7. Eerste Kerstdag : Tuesday, 25 December, 2007
