1. Hong Kong
Average working hours annually: 2,605
Not only Hong Kong is at the top of hardest working countries in the world ranked by average working hours, but the employed there also have fewer holidays. Apart from working hours being 9am – 6 pm and longer, many workers stay longer and also have the half working Saturday. But, some recent accidents, like bus crushes that have ended up with three deaths and many injured, have happened right because of the overworking of public transportation drivers who work up to 12 hours a day!
