      The average full-time employee in the United States works 1,892 hours per year, or 36.4 hours per week.

      Don’t think so, taken a 40h/week is needed to survive if you gain a basic income, most of the people around work 1920h a year.

      Japan not being on the map makes you understand it’s a bullshit map. Heck, there are people dying in their workplace because they are so overworked.

      took data from 10 countries, ranked them and blud called it an infographics map

      The fuck is the data based on? Pretty sure there are significant biases in play.

      Israel definitely isn’t “overworked”, but it’s filled with startups, where employees with stock options (common) often work long hours.

      I too can say I am working all the time. Sleep is part of my work process, so is drinking with friends, I mean brainstorming sessions.

      Me in China, on a considered “early” schedule, working till 21:30 each day, that just worked two extra days than regular weeks on national legal holiday, having 11 consecutive days for work right after it, followed by a one-day weekend, knowing I’m one of the people with the least hours among everyone I know, looking at the map be like: 🤨

      There probably is some loophole I don’t think it does justice to things like maybe voluntarily working due to peer pressure or toxic managers , unrecorded overtimes or something

      Is this ‘official’ hours worked or ‘actual’ hours worked?

      In some cultures like japan and korea, you’re only working officially from 9 to 5 but if you stay at the office till 9 I don’t think they count that towards your ‘official’ hours worked. Then there’s also the pseudo-obligatory after work meetings and parties you have to attend which probably also don’t go into official hours worked and there you have it. Japan is not in the top overworked countries because half the work isn’t recorded as work.

      Israelis working hard to keep Palestinian child mortality at an all time’s high

      Japan not being there and Canada on the list makes me question the credibility of this map

    23. CptMachiavelli on

      In Turkey, we work 48 hours a week and this means 2496 hours a year also I haven’t checked China or India, they probably have more hours than us. I guess this map does not show the overworked countries, it shows the overworked country among 10 randomly selected countries

      With an average of 5 working days per week, working 8 hours a day and have 25 days of vacation per year, you will work for 1880 hours per year.

      Most of these numbers don’t seem particularily high compared to that.

      Even throwing in a couple of public holidays on top of the vacation you will work 1830+ hours per year.

      Greek here. I get paid for 6 hours, I’m working 8, and for 6 days. The counter-argument is always “If you don’t like it, quit; we can always find someone else”

    28. winterweiss2902 on

      Is Japan not on this list because the women are stay at home mothers, therefore lowering the hours “worked” per Japan person?

    31. Top_Problem_7375 on

      What is the world average? These are just arbitrary numbers if we don’t know how these numbers translate to ‘overworked’. Is this based on contracted hours vs hours worked?
      Many questions that this map doesn’t provide immediate answers to

    32. Shamino79 on

      Greece? Weren’t they famously an economic basket case because no one worked? Or is it the average working hours for those who are employed? In which case maybe not as many people employed but those who are work long hours.

    33. vladgrinch on

      Many private companies in Romania do not even report any extra hours, just the standard 8h/day, 40 h/week. Why? To avoid various legal restrictions that the management does not like, to avoid paying more taxes and to settle for a more convenient way of paying for the extra hours.

    34. AhmedAbuGhadeer on

      And by “in the world”, I mean USA and Europe, and few other countries that USA and Europe care about.

      I am in a country where the law states the standard work hours 8 hours a day 6 days a week, and some jobs like food catering and security work 12 hours a day 7 days a week.

      Canadian here – Question: If you work 40 hours/week and get a month’s vacation that’s 1920 hours per year…. how is 1865 hours considered overworked?
