In my experience they do not really work "harder" so much as they work longer and for less.
They also produce a poor quality service in my sector, but i admit I have heard a lot about them producing good quality in other non construction fields.

There is nothing to "learn" from their work ethic.
They are used to less and therefore willing to work more for what they get.
Take any nationality or race of people and give them nothing all their life and then give them a chance to work, and you will see the same results.
