Some cultures legitimately are less hard working though. Ironically most of these cultures are western, the biggest examples are southern European cultures.

As far as immigrants though, approximately 100% of them wish to be productive members of society, I agree. You dont go through the effort of emigrating without an entrepreneurial spirit.

Source for that statement? Because I see the opposite.

Oh honey.

Working 1600 hours a year is low. Poland is above 2k. I know many, many immigrants. 95% of them are incredibly hard workers. They take work more seriously than the vast majority of native borns. Their kids are a different story, but the immigrants themselves work their asses off.
