I'm a little confused.

Today (July 3) a lot of businesses and government offices are closed, and some people are saying it's a federal holiday. At first I wondered if it had something to do with Juneteenth, but Juneteenth is on June 19.

Is July 3 actually a federal holiday this year because the Fourth of July falls on a Saturday, so it's being observed on Friday instead?

How does this work for federal employees and private companies? Do most employers give July 3 off, or does it depend on the company?
