Hours of productive employment

To a large extent, how hard one works is influenced by the cultural environment.  Countries that value labor, like the United States, tend to have significantly more hours worked than countries in Europe that are more focused on leisure, and view work as a necessary evil, rather than something that is glorified. (The average work week in the US is about 35 hours per week, while in Germany, Norway and the Netherlands it is 27 hours per week.) But the place that really cranks out the work is South Korea, with a world leading average work week of 44 hours per week.  Surprisingly enough, Greece, known for its Mediterranean lifestyle and indulgent socialist government, is one of the hardest working labor forces in the world, with an average work week of 41 hours.

Of course, there are many factors that affect how hard and much people work. In addition to cultural factors, there is the issue of stage of economic development.  Some people in poorer countries may have to work very hard simply to survive, while those in richer countries may be able to maintain a nice lifestyle with fewer hours of work.  In many developing countries with high levels of unemployment and underemployment, work may simply not be available, so the amount of labor is not a choice. Taxation policies and labor laws have a huge impact on hours worked. In some European countries, you can make almost as much money from unemployment benefits and other entitlements as you can working. And work hours change over time; as society has transitioned from a mostly agricultural labor force to a mostly urbanized one, working hours have decreased.  Men tend to work from one to four hours more per week than women, even in the same job.

Of course, there are major distinctions among hours worked within professions; some of these are not surprising at all; lawyers, managers, salespeople, farm workers, all work long hours. However, the hardest working profession from our chart below is actually clergy, with an average work week of 52 hours (they dont get Sunday s off.)

 

Hours Worked:

Three important sources of international labor statistics are the International Labor Office (ILO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the Statistical Office of the European Communities (EUROSTAT).

The ILO’s Bureau of Statistics provides data for the greatest number of countries in the ILO’s Yearbook of Labor Statistics (LABORSTA), Key Indicators of the Labor Market (KILM), and numerous other databases. The OECD provides data primarily for the developed countries, while most EUROSTAT data are limited to the countries of the European Union. All of these organizations prepare special studies on a wide variety of labor-related topics.

How hours of work affect occupational earnings

Daniel Hecker

Abstract:

Analysis of long-term trends in hours of work has shown that a large proportion of full-timers in some major occupational groups put in long hours, and that persons working long hours generally have higher earnings.1 Do the high earnings associated with longer workweeks simply reflect the greater number of hours worked, or is there a more basic difference between jobs that demand (or encourage) long workweeks and those that do not? In an article in the April 1997 issue of the Review, BLS analysts Philip L. Rones, Jennifer Gardner, and Randy E. Ilg noted that professional and managerial workers had both higher earnings and longer hours than did workers in other occupational groups, and suggested that some of the earnings difference might be due to the considerable responsibility associated with professional and managerial jobs. This article takes a more in-depth look at the relationship between hours and earnings, with a focus on detailed occupations.

(This excerpt is from an article published in the October 1998 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.

Table 1 shows 1997 average weekly hours and the proportion of workers in each hours-worked category, by major occupational group.

Also, Table 2 presents data for detailed occupations, ranked by the percent of workers within them who have a standard workweek.    First part of this table covers working hours by men in details, but it did not cover for women for all occupations.  Thus the following recreated table data covers only Men.
