Germany



Days off per year: 34



Annual hours worked: 1,406 hours



 Labor productivity: $55.80 per hour



 GDP per capita: $30,028



 Unemployment rate: 5.5 Pct



The German workers have just one national public holiday that is on German Unity Day, celebrated on October 3rd for which, all workers receive a day off. If we go according to the employees holiday list there is somewhere between 9 to 13 paid holidays, in addition to the 24 paid vacation days.  Unlike many other European nations, Germany has fairly low unemployment rate with just 5.5 percent of workers out with no jobs in hand. Germans are certainly productive workers and when it comes to engineering they are the best. Hence forth different explanations have been put forward to explain the ‘German jobs miracle,” including a lack of raises, more skilled labor force, reforms that made Germany's employment agency more productive and the popularization of "minijobs" a job market that gives workers a 450 euro take-home pay for working 15 hours a week.
