>> Unsurprisingly, USA near the top with 1780 hrs worked annually by the average worker
According to the chart, US workers work < 1% more than the average for OECD countries. There are only two countries that are closer to the average.
"Near the top" is not even a close description of this data.
Given that your premise is false, how do the rest of your claims follow?
- ainiriand 8y agoThat only shows that you should not give averages, but means. What we can extrapolate from this is that there is some very big factor pushing this up as it occurs with average household income.
- halflings 8y ago> That only shows that you should not give averages, but means. Sorry if this sounds pedantic, but an average can be a mean, median, or some other summary statistic. Did you mean (wink) median* instead?
- ainiriand 8y agoHahaha yes, sorry about that I always mix both concepts in english... In spanish there is no way to mix them as the wording is completely different.
- phil248 8y agoAbout 90 hours over Canada, Spain, UK and Australia - more than two full work weeks. I'm sure we can all agree that those are better comparisons for the US than Korea, Russia or Poland. 90 hours/year is extremely substantial (some might say life-altering) from the perspective of a working person.
