Yes, of course many of our European friends have 6 + weeks of paid holiday plus the Christmas, New Years, etc. dates. In the meantime our cubicle folks are afraid to take off a long weekend.

It's just that in Italy and France paid vacations are mandated by law, five weeks per worker per calendar year in France. In most of France most people take their four weeks in August (except in the South who take it in January) and one week in February, called the "ski week" (no school), similar to our Spring Break. Many people in France plan their lives around that August vacation and talk about what they're going to do on it year-round.

Maybe, that's the reason why they are getting behind U.S. or any other hard working countries

That, and the French now have a 35 hour work week for hourly paid employees. The joke goes: the French want a 35 work week, in India, they want a 35 hour work day.

And here I was with the impression that Europe was more productive than the USA. At least thats what they said on 60 minutes.

Now is that dispite the 35 hour work week and 5 week vacation or because of it??

I am not sure what 60 min. said though. How productive are they in what area? Please educate me...... I am listening....

As I understand, many researches and studies show that their welfare cost, labor cost, and less labor hours have already burdened on their society dramatically. :no
