How hard do you REALLY work?
Friday, June 13th, 2008
As we get into the full swing of summer and you begin to look forward to taking that much needed 2 week vacation to the Bahamas let’s take a step back and put some things in perspective. You probably work a minimum of 9-5, 5 days a week right? If you work less than that, well my friend you are luckier than most. But what about 39 year old Lee from South Korea who can only spend 10-15 minutes a day with his kids because he’s gone from 5:30AM to 11:00PM six days a week. Oh yeah and he only gets 3 days off a year.
Here are the top hardest working countries and the average number of hours worked per year:
1. South Korea - 2,357
2. Greece - 2,052
3. Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland - tied with close numbers in the 1,900-2,000 range
So next time you want to duck out early on a Friday, be thankful you can and make sure you really DO enjoy that nice long vacation!
