- AlisdairO 17y agoJust off the top of my head, 25 days off a year (not including public holidays) is the norm in Britain, compared to, what, 5-10 in the US? The attitude towards work is very different in Europe, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if working hours were lower.
- masklinn 17y ago> Just off the top of my head, 25 days off a year (not including public holidays) is the norm in Britain I think the EU mandates 4 or 5 weeks (not sure which), in the US as far as I know there is no federal mandates. Also, paid sick days.
- guelo 17y agoDamnit, geeks always want data, here's what I could find on Google, 1,360 vs 1,804 work hours in 2005 according to http://www.swivel.com/data_columns/show/2465290 http://www.swivel.com/data_columns/show/2465290 Half the violent crimes according to http://dev.prenhall.com/divisions/hss/worldreference/NO/crime.html http://dev.prenhall.com/divisions/hss/worldreference/NO/crim... and http://dev.prenhall.com/divisions/hss/worldreference/US/crime.html http://dev.prenhall.com/divisions/hss/worldreference/US/crim... I can't explicitly find the comparison of the 10% poorest but it can be deduced from the statistics you can find on google if you're interested.
