LAZY AMERICANS

CNN asks, "Are Americans too Lazy?" The surprising report of our relative sloth arrives in new research from the UN's International Labor Organization, which looks at working hours around the world. When it comes to what we might call hard work, meaning the proportion of workers who put in more than 48 hours a week, America is near the bottom of the heap. About 18% of our employed people work that much.

I thought I read that Americans take fewer vacation hours than any other nation. But maybe we don't work as hard when we are at work giving up our vacations????
