    Just curious, how many hours does the average European person work in a week? I see a lot of talk about vacation days but I’ve never seen someone mention how long the workweeks are.

    For comparison, the average work week in the US is 40 hours.

      40 hours work week and 26 paid vacation days in my country. Everything above 40h is paid 150 or 200% depending on circumstances but it’s usually not obligatory to work like that as employers both don’t want to pay more and they don’t want to screw with people due to lack of workforce willing to do that shit.
