Any evidence of that? I don't know of any. You could look for reductions in second generation wages as evidence of reduced productivity from American culture. However, you'd have to factor in demand-side problems such as discrimination.
I find the idea of American's "not working hard" difficult to digest, given the US worker on average supplies a relatively high number of hours of labour. Despite that, the US labour market is characterised by a high percentage of low paid labour (i.e. work long or you get blight all)
