" 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.


I have heard multiple reports that American workers take less
vacation days, sick days and holidays compared to a lot of other
countries. fewer employees producing the same goods reduces overhead
for insurance, training, and other overhead costs thereby raising
productivity, no matter HOW you measure it.
