Although U.S. workers are notorious for not taking as much vacation time as their European counterparts, 24 percent of respondents in a recent survey said they can't afford to take vacation in 2011, up from 21 percent last year.

Chicago-based CareerBuilder found that although another 12 percent say they can afford a vacation, they don't have plans to take one this year.

More than 5,600 workers participated in the CareerBuilder survey, which was conducted in January and March of this year.
