 As you can see from this chart, from the Organization for
 Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, the economic train
 wreck that Greece is cannot be blamed on the Greeks dependency
 of government rather than their own work. Of the 37 countries
 ranked by the OECD, only three work longer hours than Greece.

 It's not the people, it's the crooks in the banking/investment
 sector.

Hours worked by average employed worker per year.
