How many hours do you work in a week on average?

 

[lynxstch]

I'm retired, but if you want to count the hours I work around the house, it's more than 40 hours, lol!

 

[rndmr2]

My schedule is 3 days a week, 16 hour shifts (3p to 7:30a) so I'm scheduled at 48 hours. I do sometimes pick up extra usually that would only be an 8 hour shift. Plus I never can get out of that place on time so it would be on average anywhere from 48 to 60 hours. A year or so ago it was 70+ so this is better.

Retired too. Not sure how I ever found time to work.

If you don't mind me asking, what industry is the position? Medical, business, customer service...? I thought a person can only work a max of 50 hours per week?

I'm a SAHM and looking to get back into the work force in some capacity. My husband is a delivery driver and works 50-55 hours a week, during Christmas peak rush it's closer to 60-70hrs a week.

 

[Kimkimba]

I work 14 hours a week spread out over 3 days.

There's no rule on how many hours a week a person can work.

I honestly thought there are limits set by the government.

I'm a Nurse

Thank you for all the good work you do.

I don’t think there is any limit to the number of hours one can work in a week.

My dad usually had two full time and one part time job at the same time. He worked on average 100 hours a week.

The only time I saw him as a kid was him sleeping.

I meant within a single position.

I'm currently a student so this would be hard to calculate. I intern for two days a week, 16 hours, I have two classes, 5 hours, I have to study 20'sh hours, plus I have an independent study 8'sh hours. That's 49. This semester I'm commuting each week to school so that is another 13 hours for 62 hours.

 

[1420Elexismc]

I would say an average of 45...but some weeks are definitely more

Prior to retiring in 2015 after 30 years in the Civilian Nuclear Power Industry as a Senior Reactor Operator, I was subject to the NRC's 10CFR26.205 Work Hour Rules. A very complicated set of conditions which we had extensive spreadsheets to manage. I always tried to max out my hours (~ 54 a week, but with turnover time not included worked out to ~ 65 hrs). The overtime helped pad my retirement fund so I could retire at 57.

Now I enjoy doing no work and chilling a lot. Being a Seenager is tough.

I'm on campus for about 40 hours a week, but if there isn't enough time to get the work done, I end up grading at home at night and on the weekends. I'd guess I work about 50 hours a week.

 

[DLgal]

Depending on how you count it, either zero or 168 hours a week. I'm a SAHM. I'm always at least planning and keeping track of everything in my head. Even on vacation, I am "working" unless I'm on a solo trip. Although I'm still "on call" at that point.

Although now that boys are older teens, I do have a lot more down time to do whatever I want. It's nice.

No that’s why there such thing as overtime. It’s up to the company. Certain jobs may have government regulations for safety reasons. Like a pilot or air traffic controller.

 

[Magical2017]

About thirty hours. Fourteen of those hours are on campus teaching and holding office hours or supervising student teachers in an elementary school. I have a monthly staff meeting. The other hours are at home grading and planning.

I love my schedule. I have 3 months in the summer, six weeks between mid-December and January, and spring break off. This semester I also have Thanksgiving week off based on the days my classes fall on.
