The State of the 40-Hour Workweek [Infographic]

by Steve Campbell on June 28, 2010

Since it’s Monday, I figured this would be a good infographic to share. The 40-hour workweek has been the standard for many years but with increases in technology many say we’ll see a decline. As efficiency and automation increases work hours should decrease.

Another infographic from VisualEconomics, this one displays the percentages of people around the world who still work 40+ hours a week.

Since the image is so huge, I have posted a link to it here.

    Interesting image… I truly do believe that with automation, you're going to see business owners working less and automating much more.

    Certainly looks that way. Hoping it's a good thing.
