They are also far more productive for each hour worked: the French squeeze out $35.08 an hour – a third more than the Swiss. “Compared with the European Union, productivity is much lower [in Switzerland],” Marie-Claire Sodergren, an economist in the ILO Employment Trends Unit, told swissinfo. She added that the figure was all the more surprising as Switzerland has a low unemployment rate – 4.0 per cent in 2006, according to the Swiss Labour Force Survey – and a relatively high percentage of the working population in employment.
