no, you're wrong. the average American gets two weeks off for vacation. at 5 years you tend to get three.

the basic retirement age is 67.

Europeans are forever "on holiday" and anyone who has had the displeasure of working with them at a multinational corp. knows this.

The rest of the world works less hours either because the employer just does not offer the pay .... or the high tax rates disincentivizes it.

the rest may work more hours  but their economy is 3rd world/communist/stone age.
