Poles work a lot but not hard enough - Eurostat

Polish employees are second-longest working in the EU (after Greeks) but their productivity needs an improvement, according to Eurostat. In 2013, the average working time in Poland was 41 hours per week, a 3.5 hours longer that the EU average time. However, in terms of productivity (GDP per hour worked), Poles turned out one of the lowest ranking nations. Only Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria and Romania obtained worse results.
