Default Re: Why do Americans work so much?

While I agree that my situation is quite nice. 35 hours and 20+ days holiday is fairly standard for UK/Europe.

The Brits are supposed to be the hardest workers in Western Europe. God knows what the averages are for the French and Germans. I assume 35 hour week is standard but I gather they get more holidays [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
