That‘s the question I asked myself too. How did they measure that? Average working hours: So Switzerland: 41 hours [1] Germany: only 15% over 45 hours [2] Austria: around 41 hours too [3] And it seems European average is also around 40 hours [3] . Edit: Ok, that‘s what i found: > Workday Span- The average daily number of hours in between the first and last email sent or meeting attended by an individual in a 24-hour day block. The 24-hour day block is determined by 12am-11:59pm in the user’s local time zone. This variable is calculated by taking the number of hours in between the first and last meeting or email for each user’s 24-hour block and then calculating the average across users for a given MSA. So if I write an email at 6am and another at 6pm, I would have worked 12 hours in this statistics, even though I was the rest of the day in the mountains (or otherwise out-of-office). I ahree that it‘s a nice way to measure working hours like that, but I myself sometimes write an email before breakfast and then have a lengthy breakfast.
