This graphic shows the average annual working hours per person, as of 2023, across OECD nations.
One reason for the lower number of hours worked in European countries is the EU's mandate that grants all employees a minimum of 4 weeks paid holiday.
This is a stark contrast to the U.S., which is the only advanced economy that doesn't have a law mandating paid holiday for workers.
