Productivity per hour in France is higher than the UK. So is productivity per worker. [1] It may be higher than in the US.[2]

Swiss workers are among the most productive on earth and they work fewer hours than most of the OECD. Coincidence? In many fields, (software, hello!) the number of hours worked does not necessarily translate into more profit.

I don't find it too surprising that fewer hours worked results in a higher productivity per hour.

EDIT: But I am surprised by the higher productivity per worker, compared to UK.
