New research from business-to-business marketplace Expert Market has shed some light on where in the world people are the most productive. Expert Market compared data from 35 of the world's biggest economies before compiling their ranking.
To do this, they looked at the GDP per capita of nations and divided that by the number of hours worked per person, giving a rough guide to which nations make the most money in the least amount of time, and are therefore the most productive.
Numbers quoted below are the amount of value each worker brings to their country's economy per hour worked. Check out the ranking underneath:
