> "By 2022, the number had fallen to 1371 hours. The numbers are similar for most West European countries"

In France it is officially 1607 hours per year, but it could be legally much higher and the mean duration is 1 679 hours. From Eurostat, in 2021 the mean duration in Germany was 1 769 hours and 1 923 hours in Italy.

That is strange, by this chart the Italy have 1694 and Germany 1340. In Poland it is still 1814 in 2024 hours. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_a...


Damn, I looked again at my source and it is https://www.eurostaf.fr, not Eurostat.

Sorry for not catching this.

When at look at OECD, they give other numbers:

Italy: 1723

France: 1501

Germany: 1347
