Yes that’s it: Greece. According to the ONS (2011) taking all employment and averaging it the people of Greece work 6 hours a week longer than the people of the UK. The Netherlands work on average 6 hours less than the UK a week but are a third more productive. So next time you are fed government lies about other countries and how great the UK economy is remember this.
