I live (and grew up) in the US, and from what I've heard, people in the US often work long hours (depends on the job though) and also generally don't get as much vacation or parental leave time as other countries.  That can depend on the company too (I worked for Intel for a while, and I thought they had pretty good benefits - particularly, they offered 3 weeks of vacation per year to start, along with a sabbatical, where you can take 8 weeks after 7 years or 4 weeks after 4 years, and also combine that with vacation time).
