But about the same in terms of GDP per capita per hour worked. It’s just that the French have a different approach to work life balance.

Also I think the average hides a wider disparity in the US.

Look at the median, not the average :-). It's hard to put numbers on quality of life as well: what does the median American eat versus the median French person ? How many vacation do they take ? What does they work, commute, family look like ?
