Some other countries if somebody is curious:
- Brazil: 1708
- Canada: 1689
- Mexico: 2137
- South Africa: 2191
- USA: 1765
I find it doesn’t make sense to compare annual hours worked by employee.
Instead, only annual hours by person living in that region should be compared. Because otherwise, more part-time workers (meaning more working hours in total) dilute and decrease the average.
While that statistic would also be interesting, that would be dominated by completely different factors: pensioners, female employment, duration of education
