Another round of statistics after The real reasons you're working so hard... posted earlier:



CountryHours/YearHours/Week
South Korea3,38073.5
USA1,82539.7
Japan1,78938.9
Assuming 46 work weeks per year, a crude approximation of 6 weeks of public holidays and annual leave in a year (52 weeks) per corporate slave.

Unfortunately, no official statistics for Hong Kong yet, but I would say 55 hours work week in general as a local resident.

So, don't envy - success comes with a price.
