If you’re like the majority of Americans, the findings of a new study by NationalToday.com won’t surprise you a bit: Americans work more than basically everybody else in the world (except South Korea), including our European counterparts. And we work a whole lot more than the French.
The survey of 2,000 Americans published right in time for Labor Day reconfirmed what has been true for decades: Americans work more than the average European and many other first-world countries. In fact, when you add up all those long hours for the year, the average American outworks the average worker in Japan by 137 hours and UK workers by 260 hours, that’s over three and six 40-hour weeks, respectively.
