Walter Hickey / BI
According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, American workers logged on average 1,789 hours of work in 2014. That's at least 100 more hours a year than workers in European countries like the UK, France, Germany, or Denmark.
And when looking at US Census data, that number could be higher, since the average working American logs about 39 hours a week.
