[Sigia-l] So, how long do you work?

[Listera]

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that only about 17% of managerial
workers worked more than 60 hours a week in 2004, and the bureau doesn't
even track data at the upper fringes of the curve. But anecdotal evidence
seems to indicate that it's a trend on the rise. "The 40-hour workweek is a
bit of a myth now," says Allan Schweyer, executive director of the Human
Capital Institute. "The 50- to 60-hour workweek is now the norm." Recent
data from the Families and Work Institute indicate that women's reported
workweek has risen to 44 hours from 39 in 1977, while men report spending
49.9 hours on the job, up from 47.1 hours. And those are just the rank and
file.

Do women work fewer hours?
How many hours a week do you put in?
Up or down compared to, say, 3 or 5 years ago?
More work for in-housers or consultants?
Non-Americans work less?

(Where would you want to retire? Just kiddin'. :-)
