Mexicans work harder than Americans. People in Turkey and Greece work harder than North Europeans. The general rule of thumb is that people in poorer countries work harder, more hours, and less breaks.

The US is not poor, but there are poor country incentives. No automatic free healthcare, no free high-quality education for children. Large number of elderly people must work without pensions. You have to work harder and have less free time to get the same income safety compared to Europeans.
