As can be seen, Greece is towards the top and Germany close to the bottom of the ranking.
This should not be taken as saying that the Greeks are better than the Germans. It's just that individuals in Greece, like those in many other places, spend their lives working hard and they don't deserve to suffer for the corrupt dealings, incompetence and prejudice of their or other countries ruling elite.
- champagneben 7y agoThat list speaks nothing of industriousness. It's about how many hours are spent at work. Most people who have experienced working in different cultures could tell you that that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how productive people are at work or how much actually gets done.
- leto_ii 7y agoProductivity is not the same as hard work. A guy with a pickax can work very hard and still be a lot less productive than a guy with an excavator.
