2. Singapore
Average working hours annually: 2,371
Singapore has long held the position of the longest average working hours in the world. One of the bizarre things about Singapore working time and jobs is that it still happens that people die on their working places (most of them being elderly). Though of course, average working time depends on the job there are still those earning minimum wages working overtime. Since the government has realized overworking is posing a problem, it has encouraged some companies to give employees to work from their homes on some days. A small step, but a humane one.
