I suspect the U.S. is lower because of a higher proportion of not-full-timers

who suffer from reduced or zero fringes, among other disadvantages.  So

it would be useful to ensure that like is being compared with like.

. . . The average weekly hours worked per employee is higher in France than
the USA, in 2005 it was 36.3 hours in France (source: INSEE) and 33.8
hours in the USA (source: BLS), more here (in french):

Average hours worked is above 35 hours in France, but I guess
this data piece escapes USA economists and journalists who
still think it's forbiden by law to work more than 35 hours
per week in France.
