Some 90% of Japanese regard themselves as middle class, and Japanese workers are now among the best paid in the world. According to Ministry of Labor statistics, in 1993 Japanese workers in the manufacturing sector were earning an average of 1,782 yen per hour. Converted at the average rate of exchange of that year, the average figure for the United States was 1,471 yen, 17% lower than the Japanese figure. ... Japanese workers take an average of 11 paid vacation days a year, less than half of the figure recorded for Germany (29) and other European countries; for this and other reasons, Japanese workers have 20-30 fewer total days off (126) than their European counterparts.
