Really insightful - countries with the highest productivity actually reduce their working hours

Interesting data...thanks for sharing the source. Was able to find the US at 1757hrs; perhaps even more interesting than just hours worked was hours to productivity. Other than in production or operations, longer hours AT work does not necessarily mean greater effort or success delivering results

By the way Danny, love the look of your posts. Do you actually handwrite each of them before typing them out?

Yeah, Samuel, they are all handwritten! The talented artist on the Fact of the Day 1 team, Jennifer, is the one who draws the facts on a whiteboard each day.

Quite the range - and very interesting, except that without the US in there, I don't really have a benchmark for understanding the context here...

If you sort by table in the article, then use the column headers to sort further, you can pull up the USA in the overall mix. It's pretty interesting to see where we are.
