While I agree with the basic premise that the French are hard working, I disagree that productivity is higher than in the US.
In local currency (OECD data), the US productivity rate (measured as GDP/hour) is higher; 42.9 vs. 40.1. I don’t know what the table in the article shows.
However, the growth rate in productivity is higher in France than the US and much higher in Germany than either the US or France.
