I think the Japanese and the Koreans are the most working people.

In response to Rohit rawat, I moved from America to Korea to teach ESL for a few years. I agree that Koreans work more than Americans, but as far as I can see, there is actually less of a return on their investment because of the vast inefficiencies in how they work. If they streamlined their lives, I think they could actually get more done in less time.

I've heard the largest complaint from Americans in Japan is that they drag on what could be done in 8 hours into 12 hours.

Still, I admire them both for their incredible work habits...its amazing.
