" the US figure is boosted by Americans working more hours per year than
workers in most developed countries."


That's why they are MORE productive, dumb ass.


Productivity is measured as output per hour.


No it's not, it is GDP per unit of workforce pure calendar year. Go back

Nothing about years whatever. Hours makes more sense given that wages are
commonly paid according to an hourly rate.
