In America, the average number of hours people work per week is 40, or at least that is what most people assume. In reality, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), that number is slightly less than 34. This is near the 33-hour OECD average. The county where people work the most is Mexico, at just below 41 hours per week. (Here are the industries laying off the most workers.)<\/p>\n
According to Zippia, Mexico also has the most people who work over 50 hours per week. This is 27% of the nation\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n
Mexico also has the lowest GDP per worker, which is a mystery. The only probable reason is that Mexico has a relatively low gross domestic product and a huge workforce.<\/p>\n
With 130 million people, Mexico ranks 10th among all nations when measured by that yardstick. Based on GDP, the country ranks 13 worldwide at $2.4 trillion. However, GDP per capita ranks 90th in the world at just above $19,000.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t
