I Believe that american workers maybe working a good amount of hours but not because of any peer pressure. They work because they are motivated as well as they get paid what they deserve for their work. I belong to India and there we have work more comparatively to the american corporate and moreover with this kind of work load they don’t get paid for any extra hours for their overtime. Comparatively American can be said to work with motivation because they do it in consensus and get paid for their extra work and efforts.
