I'd be careful about using the data beyond very broad conclusions: the OECD expressly stipulates that the working-hour figures are not comparable between countries, and should be used only to establish the evolution of working time *within* them.

It’s not the hours you put it that matters it what you put into the hours.

Long hours doesn't = hard work. It is modern slavery, more sick, more depression, less work life balance. We are only here once.

Surely longest, not hardest?
