It would be interesting to have a metric that is a combination of economic well-being and quality of work. Ie, in your one hour vs eight hour example; CountryA on average works much much less, but has the same GDP as CountryB. This would seem like a very meaningful metric for the success of the country, one that GDP would obscure entirely. Though perhaps hours work plays into one of the other quality of life style metrics, in which case perhaps it's already covered. I don't know any of this stuff, just commenting as a spectator :)
