The hours worked by a US worker (+- 1800 a year) is lower than the hours worked by Greeks (about 2100 a year), and higher than those of the UK (approximately 1650 hours a year). Only the Koreans work more hours a year than Greeks, so the amount of hours put in is not very relevant to the yearly salary.
