Interesting tidbit

Being sick for a few days does wonders for the pile of magazines that have piled up over the past few weeks! So, don't be surprised to find this blog growing with tidbits from my reading.

Have you ever wondered at the relaxed attitudes of foreign workers, especially when you're driving at it hard and trying to meet a deadline? Ever wonder why the US is almost always at or near the top of the list of most productive workers globally? Take a gander at how many days of vacation per year are taken by workers in other countries compared to the US:

Italy -- 42 days
France -- 37 days
Germany -- 35 days
Great Britain -- 28 days
Canada -- 26 days
Japan -- 25 days
United States -- 13 days

Surprising that many of us here in the States struggle to use up our vacation days, isn't it?!
