#6. Switzerland



Average Hours Per Week: 35 Hrs



Average Annual Wages: $50,000



The workforce in Switzerland is one of the happiest in the world, and this is for a reason. Though an average Swiss worker earns nearly the same as the average worker in the U.S., there is a massive difference in the working hours. They work nearly 155 hours less each year, than compared to the workers in the most developed economies across the globe.



A whopping one third of workforce is on part-time schedules and nearly 79 percent of the country's working-age population is employed. These numbers are the highest among any industrialized economy in the world.



#5. Germany



Average Hours Per Week: 35 Hrs



Average Annual Wages: $40,000



Every year since 2007, workers in Germany are on the lower side of working hours. And the possible reason behind this number is that a major chunk of the workforce in the country either opts for temporary or part-time work. Those associated with permanent or full-time positions also seems to have significant higher time, than compared to the rest of the world. An average German is believed to have more than 15 hours a day devoted to leisure. Also the pro-employee government which has introduced several laws that safeguards employee interests has been a boon to the workforce of this country.
