The 20 cities where Americans work the least
According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, Americans logged on average 1,789 hours of work in 2014. That's at least 100 more hours a year than 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.
