What a nonsense. Your facts don't even pass the smell test: around 25 % of people in age of working work as a public servant. As for the working less than possible and the comment regarding Germany: French workers work more than German on average, thought that's likely skewed because 'forced' part time is more prevalent in Germany (http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DatasetCode=ANHRS http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DatasetCode=ANHRS). The whole idea of # hours as a meaningful metric is not a good one anyway: some of the countries from OECD that work the most ? Mexico, Turkey, Greece, etc...
