It's a general pattern that more productive nations work less hours, Germany is one example, but also France, nordics, etc.
A false national stereotype? Myth of the lazy Greek to be replaced by... truth of the unproductive Greek? Alternatively, working hours is a troublesome metric of laziness because people slack off on work in different amounts. https://www.newstatesman.com/economics/economics/2012/05/chart-day-myth-lazy-greek …pic.twitter.com/3SOQuK8CE5

That's supposedly one of the reasons why US income/GDP so high, no vacations! One would expect a relative decline in happiness then, unless happiness is not very affected by vacations.

There’s an entire class of people for whom that’s what work is now. Legit labor is like 2-3 hours a day, with 5-6 of internet, lunch, blather, etc.(+1.5 of highway commute!) You see this pattern esp. among high verbal IQ workers whose main job is to be on hand for contingencies.

I married into a family of Greeks. Born in Greece off the boat types. Work hard and long. Also... not terribly efficient.

Yep. Many of those 'work hours' are spent not working in Mediterranean nations.
