Lazy Fucking Americans

Those fat lazy american bastards. They're all sitting at home watching tv and eating their fast food while the rest of the world works to give them their luxuries. Fuckers.


Average number of hours worked yearly, 2001:

United States - 1979
Mexico - 1863.1
Japan - 1842
Spain - 1815.8
Canada - 1779.5
United Kingdom - 1711
Italy - 1603
Sweden - 1602
France - 1531.7
Germany - 1467.1

The way I read that, 2080 hours makes up 52 weeks of 40 hour work weeks. Account for 2 weeks vacation and that leaves barely half a week of unaccounted time for the average american worker. That means, perhaps, that the average american worker calls in sick 2.5 days a year. Lazy?

It's worth noting, as well, that Japan - pounded into our brains as being the most industrious of countries - doesn't even make the top two, falling to the Mexicans down south.

Surprisingly, Canada struggles to make the top five. They must be too busy making mac & cheese up there and watchin hockey to do much workin, eh?
