Which is the world's hardest working nation?
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Better Life Index measures many things including the average hours worked per employee in each country. The results may be surprising, but the answer is...Mexico. Even though they always have their siesta time. We are jealous!
Did you know that?

I'm a right-wing conservative, and I admire and respect their work ethics. Every single Mexican I've ever known is usually instilled at an early age about hard work, including most of the dirty jobs that you and I would NEVER take on. Stop spreading hatred about certain classes of people, when the only thing you have to go on is your blinding ignorance and utter contempt for anybody who is different than you. Sickening...

Thought that comment came from a racist right wing conservative but double checked and saw it was actually from a self hater. Every country have its issues including US. México is part of America ......

Most Mexicans are the nicest, most polite and hard working people, on either side of the border. Shame on some of you for your racist, mean spirited remarks.

Absolutely, shame on Cruz'es comment. I'm proud oj my Mexican ancestors, they worked hard and had a respectable decent life, as well as many other Mexican people, Crime, drug dealing and other mean activities, do not exclusively belong to Mexico.They're trying hard wth their economy due to oil's prices dropl, And pray for that southern Country.

I have found the innumerable Mexicans I have worked with or for me to the hardest working and honorable people I have had the pleasure to have have pleasure to have worked with. American rednecks may learn a thing or two from our neighbors.

I lived in Mexico for nearly 11 years and I have to say that I found the Mexican people I knew were very hard workers with long hours. I have nothing but wonderful memories about the warm and caring Mexican people I consider as family.

We've got a bunch of Hispanics at work, and they're hard-working decent people.

According to what I've heard and seen, the Japanese are ahead of Mexico.

This question is much too subjective. Without denying the hard work of the Mexican laborer, working long does not necessarily equate with working hard.

Hopefully people won't judge Americans by Trump or Mexicans by El Chapo
