Americans Love To Work

Americans love to work. They say a job is 40 hours a week, but the

average employee actually spends 47 hours at work each week, compared

to 35 in Germany or Sweden. The United States is also rare among

wealthy nations because it does not guarantee paid vacation. And those

working for companies that do offer paid vacation don’t even take it;

54 percent of us squander half of our vacation days each year.
