GREEKS WORK LONGER
THAN THEIR NEIGHBOURS

 


 Greeks work longer hours than other Europeans, about 42 hours a week on average, according to the results of a survey carried out recently by the European statistics agency Eurostat.
 
The figures refer to the second trimester of 2009 and report that the average working week in the 27 EU member-states is 40.3 hours a week, while in the Euro zone it is 40 hours.

Greeks are at the top of the list with 42 hours per week, followed by the Czechs with 41.6 hours a week, Austrians with 41.5 hours a week and Poles with 41.4 hours a week.

The shortest working week is enjoyed by the Finns (37.8 hours), Danes (38 hours) and Swedes (38.1 hours).

According to the same survey, Greece has the lowest rate of part-time employment in the EU, at 6 percent. The average is 18.8 percent in the EU27 and 20 percent in the Euro zone.
