French productivity

So much for the canard that the U.S. is vastly more productive than France or other European nations, which supposedly explains the other canard that France's economy is on the rocks. The only reason the French look less productive than we do is that they take much longer vacations - minimum mandated is 25 days per year (think about it. That's five full weeks.) Productivity per hour worked tells the tale. Max Sawicki tells the full tale here.
