According to a recent survey 38 percent of Greek citizens are    (what?)

Please note it has nothing to do with xenophobia, lesser greeks,

Hello trickydicky,
According an opinion poll carried out in November of 2002 which aimed
to establish people’s views relating to the new year 2003, 38% of
Greeks are the least secure in their job.
   
"Among the residents of the European Union, the Greeks, as in the
previous year, appear to be the least secure regarding their
preserving their present job, since 4 out of 10 (38%) accept the
possibility of becoming unemployed."
(No.4 “Is your present job secure or is there a possibility of your
becoming unemployed?")

Hi Trickydicky,
Thank you for letting me provide you with alternative answer.
Another possibility that does not relate to xenophobia, lesser Greeks,
employment or unemployment, is that 38% of Greek adults are regular
smokers, according to according to statistics from the World Health
Organization.
"According to statistics from the World Health Organization, only 25%
of Italian adults smoke regularly. Instead, 27% of French, 35% of
German and 38% of Greek adults are regular smokers."

"According to statistics compiled by the World Health Organization,
only 25 percent of Italian adults smoke regularly.
Those same statistics, from the years 1999 to 2001, show that 27
percent of French adults, 34.5 percent of German adults and 37.6
percent of Greek adults are regular smokers."

I also came across a another survey (conducted in 1998/1999) which
aimed to research the reading practices of Greek citizens. The survey
found that the percentage of those that have read at least one book
during the last year was 37.8%.
