France



Days off per year: 31



Annual hours worked: 1,476 hours



 Labor productivity: $57.70 per hour



 GDP per capita: $35, 548



 Unemployment rate: 10.3 Pct



The French workers are just given one public holiday that is on International Workers Day on May 1 for which they are assured a paid day off every year. However, regardless to it France also allows its workers to take 30 days off a year.  The best part of this is these vacations days begin from the very first day of your job. Despite these policies, the country has shown it is willing to ask workers to sacrifice for the nation's economic well-being. Off late France passed important labor reforms to make it easier for businesses to cut down on jobs while also boosting eminent benefits for its contracted workers. The French are also highly regarded for their productive workforce, generating $57.70 per hour respectively, in comparison to $60.20 per hour by the U.S. workers.  Regardless to this the IMF has stated that France's reforms lag behind and don’t go far enough. The IMF also added that the nation has to constantly continue to enact on more labor reforms as well as work on strategies to cut both taxes and government spending.
