This report is pretty pointless, and is at best a puff piece for an American audience. American workers are some of the most productive workers in the world, but working hours are not the sole reason. Working hours really do not tell you that much on their own. In Europe, Greece works the most hours, and yet they are hardly an economic success story. French people work fewer hours than British people, and yet France has better productivity measures. Italy works the fewest hours, but they are stuck in an economic mire. Industrial Era British factory workers worked many more hours than British factory workers today, and yet I'm certain that today's factory workers are much better value. There isn't a meaningful correlation to be found around working hours independent of other factors.
