13 jobs you should avoid if you don't want to work a lot
As a result, more Americans are feeling overworked.
To find jobs that would be better suited for workaholics, we analyzed US Census data for about 478 occupations from the Minnesota Population Center's 2014 American Community Survey Integrated Public Use Microdata Series.
Based on that survey data, the average American works close to 40 hours a week and has a total income - a combination of salary, business, and any other form of money earned in a year - of about $50,569.
While some may work more or less than the average depending on their employer or where they are in their career, people with the following professions report typically working more than 50 hours in a week:
