Lazy Belgians



Mexicans work longest, Belgians the Shortest

“Mexicans work the longest days and Belgians the shortest, according to a study of 29 industrialized countries released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development,” Reuters reports. “The stereotype of a laid-back manana culture was turned on its head by the OECD’s Society at a Glance study, which showed Mexicans toil for 10 hours a day on average in paid and unpaid work, such as household chores. Belgians work just seven, an hour less than the average in most other OECD countries.”
