How Many Hours Europeans Work Each Week欧洲人每周工作多少小时

There’s an old joke: are you working hard, or hardly working? “Hard work” is difficult to measure, but it is possible to know who’s working the longest.有一个老笑话：你是在努力工作，还是几乎不工作？"努力工作 "很难衡量，但可以知道谁工作的时间最长。

The Balkans Work the Longest in Europe巴尔干地区是欧洲工作时间最长的国家

Less wealthy countries of Europe (by per capita GDP) tend to have longer work weeks. For example, people in the Balkans—including Türkiye, Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Greece, and Romania—all put in an average of 40+ hours a week at their main jobs.欧洲不太富裕的国家（按人均 GDP 计算）往往每周工作时间较长。例如，巴尔干地区（包括土耳其、塞尔维亚、波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那、希腊和罗马尼亚）的人们平均每周在主要工作上投入 40 多个小时。

In contrast, those in the Netherlands work 32 hours per week on average. This disparity between Eastern and Western Europe is not new. Data from 2008 reflects largely the same trends.相比之下，荷兰人平均每周工作 32 小时。东欧和西欧之间的这种差异并不新鲜。 2008 年的数据反映了大致相同的趋势。

When cross-referencing both datasets, some correlations emerge. For example, in Türkiye and Serbia, the two longest-working nations in Europe, nearly 20% of the workforce is employed in agriculture.当交叉引用两个数据集时，会出现一些相关性。例如，在欧洲工作时间最长的两个国家土耳其和塞尔维亚，近 20% 的劳动力从事农业。

Similarly, Bosnia (3rd) and Romania (5th) also have roughly the same distribution (20%) of the workforce in agriculture.同样，波斯尼亚（第三位）和罗马尼亚（第五位）的农业劳动力分布也大致相同（20%）。
