Wtf is this? Why are the colors not the same number for both maps?

[-] WhiteRaven22@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Probably to better highlight the local differences for both areas. The entire scale is significantly higher for the bottom map.

But the colours should reflect that. This map makes it seem like people in China and India work same hours like some European countries.

Hardworking Germans and lazy Greeks, amiright!?!? /s

Same thing within Germany: the wealthier the person the less hours need to be spend working.

Also, in Germany, it is still common for married women with children to work half-days only.

Even if these numbers are correct they dont tell the whole story. Im moving from hungary to sweden and the stress and amountof work people do is a fraction of whats in hungary.

I find it doesn't make sense to compare annual hours worked by employee.

Instead, only annual hours by person living in that region should be compared. Because otherwise, more part-time workers (meaning more working hours in total) dilute and decrease the average.

Denmark doing it right

Japan and South Korea seem low, but keep in mind that they have a huge issue of people being expected to work overtime without documenting it.
