The US overall averages only 34.4 hours worked per week Source? Forbes (in 2014) says the average is 47 hours per week [1]. Wikipedia (data from 2015) says it's 8.4 hours per day for a man, 7.7 for a woman (although there doesn't appear to be data on number of days per week). [2] OECD lists 1,790 hours per annum [3], which is 34.4 per week assuming no holiday is taken. The same OECD dataset gives the figure of 38.6 hours per week.
