Based on the link attached, it seems that European nations are generally better when it comes to hours worked.
However, I feel that this doesn’t tell the entire story. In the US, even without a degree or extensive education, it’s relatively easy to find a non-skilled job that offers decent pay. For instance, I was hired by Amazon without even having to go through an interview process. I work 40 hours a week, have a wife and child, bought a car, and while I don’t lead a lavish lifestyle, I do have stability. There are many companies in the US that hire without requiring an interview or previous education, reflecting the vast opportunities in the US job market.
Without diverging into other tangents, I’m curious: is this level of accessibility and stability achievable in any of the bottom 10 countries mentioned in the chart? What are your thoughts?
As I feel number of hours work don’t matter or don’t tell much if you cant even have stability or your stability always requires some experience or a degree.
