GDP per hour worked for the US is $72/hour, same as Belgium. France is $68, Denmark $75, Germany $66.
Is 9% "far more productive"?
Japan FWIW is $47/hour.

Anecdotally, it throws a wrench in the works when you can’t do any major projects over the winter or summer months because some portion of your team is going to be on a month-long vacation.
