Europeans are more productive than Americans

I don't know about productive but European workers work much less than their American counterparts

According to the ILO (International Labor Organization), Americans added nearly a full week (36 hours) to their work year since 1990, bringing the total to nearly 49½ weeks a year on the job. In the mid-1990s the US surpassed Japan—which had long been at the top for the number of hours worked—and American workers now work 137 hours (3½ weeks) more a year than Japanese workers, 260 hours (about 6½ weeks) more a year than British workers and 499 hours (about 12½ weeks) more a year than German workers, the report said.
