35 and 8
The standard work week in France is 35 hours in duration.
French workers receive eight weeks of vacation.
German workers also receive, on average, eight weeks of vacation.
In the U.S. it's 40 hours per week and two weeks vacation.
I'd rather be in France.
The U.S. is the only "Western" nation that does not have socialized medicine, or what is also termed single-payer medicine. Why is this so? Why does "everyone" else have it, but we don't? The answer to this is no mystery. More on this later...
