We even work 59 hours more than the stereotypically nose-to-the-grindstone Japanese. Statistically true, but not supportive of the point being made, largely due to the difference in employment by gender in the two countries. (Japan: supporting a 55 hour work week by the simple expedient of not letting the wife work more than 10 and not letting the husband work less than 100.)
