According to the survey, employed persons worked an average of 7.6 hours per day over the course of an entire week (weekends included). Men worked about three-quarters of an hour more than employed women, a difference that is likely influenced by the greater likelihood that women work on a part-time basis.

However, amongst full-time workers men only worked slightly longer than women – an average of 8.2 hours versus 7.8 hours for women.
