法國人：全世界生產力最高的民族

A new survey from UBS has shown that the French continue to work the least
amount of hours per year in the world. Once again, the French have blown away
the competition.

瑞士銀行的新研究顯示法國仍舊是世界上每年工作時數最短的國家
法國再次在這項排行榜上遙遙領先

People work an average of 1,902 hours per year in the surveyed cities but
they work much longer in Asian and Middle Eastern cities... People in Lyon
and Paris, by contrast, spend the least amount of time at work according to
the global comparison: 1,582 and 1,594 hours per year respectively

在所有評比的城市中
平均每人每年平均工作時數是1902小時
但是在亞洲與中東城市中工作時數卻高於這個數字
相反的
里昂與巴黎市民一年工作時數分別只有1582與1594小時

Upon seeing this data, some might criticize the French for being lazy, but
that misses the point completely. The real message here is that the French
are likely some of the most productive people in the entire world.

光看數字
有些人可能會批評法國人懶惰
但是他們卻完全搞錯方向
這個數字實際上顯示的是法國人是全世界最有生產力的民族

Think about it. Nationmaster ranks France as #18 in terms of GDP per capita,
at $36,500 per person, yet France works much less than most developed
nations. They achieve their high standard of living while working 16% less
hours than the average world citizen, and almost 25% than their Asian peers
as per UBS. Plus, if you visit France you'll also realize that their actual
standard of living is probably much higher than GDP numbers would indicate.

請思考以下這點。Nationamaster把法國列為全世界人均GDP第18高的國家（36500美元）
然而，法國人卻比其他已發展國家工作更少
他們享有高生活水準
但是卻比世界上其他人平均少工作百分之十六
比亞洲工作人口少工作百分之二十五
而如果你造訪法國的話
你會發現他們的生活水準比他們的人均gdp所顯示的還要高

Thus, if one were to divide France's GDP per capita by actual hours worked,
you'd probably find that the French are achieving some of the highest returns
on work-hours invested. Labor Alpha, if you will.

We can actually calculate this Labor Alpha using statistics from Nation
Master.

因此，如果我們把法國人的人均GDP除以工作時數的話
你會發現法國人的單位工作產直視全球最高

France has $36,500 GDP/Capita and works 1,453 hours per year. This equates to
a GDP/Capita/Hour of $25.10. Americans, on the other hand, have $44,150
GDP/Capita but work 1,792 hours per year. Thus Americans only achieve $24.60
of GDP/Capita/Hour.

法國的人均gdp是36500美元，平均工作時數是1453小時，
換算下來每小時的產值視25.10美元
美國人人均gdp是44150美元，平均工時1792
每小時產值24.60美元

This puts the French Labor Alpha at about $0.50 GDP/Capita/Hour over the US.
It may sound small at first, but add that up across millions of people, and a
few decades. Now you've built a lesson for the rest of the world to learn.

法國每小時工作產值比美國高0.5美元
這聽起來很微小
但是如果你把幾百萬人這幾十年來的產值都加起來
你就會發現這有多驚人了


Winning is not about working hard. It's about working smart... and less. As
the French know well.


要獲勝不是只要埋頭苦幹
更重要的是要知道如何用聰明的方法減少工作
法國人很知道該怎麼做！科科
