Same 8 hours daily, 5 days a week in the USA, but in the Philippines some companies require 6-day workweeks, some require half day work on Saturdays, but some companies, especially big multinationals have only 5-day workweeks. Vacation leave credits in the USA are more generous. In the Philippines, a worker gets entitled to VL only after finishing probation, and only gets pro-rata credits thereafter. Big companies add leave credits to employees who have chalked up a 5-year tenure, adding an extra day a week for every year at work. Thus, where I used to work, I had 15 days annual vacation leave after working for 8 years. But if we add all the holidays and the special non-working holidays decreed by the government, we might just be even with our US counterparts !

The main difference is that in the US you work and in the Philippines you dont.

Depends on who you work for. Anything over 40 hours is overtime but some manage to avoid that. You have to work steady if not hard. Safety is a big factor. Some give vacation some don't . It isn't the law that you do. The pay is the biggest difference. You are by law paid at least minimum wage but people who work for it will make more. Qualified people start out much higher. There are incentives like commissions to get you to work better and earn more. It's the pay system that keeps the Pinoy from advancing.

Work is the same anywhere in the world. It takes so much force to move a certain weight from point X to point Y. Wages and benefits vary from place to place, from employer to employer. There might be employers who adjust their work clock 20 minutes in the evening*, and then adjust is to be late 30 minutes in the closing hours. One cannot question that that clock is wrong. If you do get it in your head to rectify the clock, it is in violation of company policy to exploit the labour force as much as possible. * evening - this should be "morning", rather. To enable them to deduct something from wages, for being "late".

Generally the same. Although hiring & selection is not the same & in the Philippines there are lot of holidays (with pay) & there are mid-year, 13th month bonus pay, which obviously you did not work but get paid for (some even have14th month, 15th month, nth month as well as a Christmas bonus)--which I all miss....

A few people I know have/are done medical school in the Caribbean and they are practicing or doing their residency in the US. But you need remarkable USMLE scores if you're a foreign graduate to even be able to get a residency. Also, alot of states will require a minimum amount of undergrad to be able to be licensed. And lastly, make sure your school is on the approved list for each state. What do you mean by "Bachelor of Medicine" and "Bachelor of Surgery?" Because when you graduate medical school you walk out with an MD, not a bachelors.

MB BCh are the degrees offered in most countries outside the US to medical students. The UK, Ireland, the Commonwealth and some other countries have MB BCh instead of MD. I think you would be allowed to practise as long as your University is recognised as having the minimum standards for the US. Hope this helps.

I have no clue on the 1st one but I would say that the percentage would have stayed relatively the same its just that there are fewer overall farms but they are bigger on average. #2 according to 2 of my professors around 2% #3 technology has allowed farms to be far more productive and signifigantly reduced the need for farm workers.... just think it takes a handfull of people a relatively short period of time to harvest hundreds of acers of corn today.... where as before modern technology it would have taken several dozens of people in order to do a smaller amount of land and it would have taken longer to harvest it as well.... not to mention... planting, fertilizing, pesticides, and the technology in some of the seeds themselves (GM seeds).
