United States of America is not a planet.
There are countries with both more and less work hours.
-
Have you informed Kermit about this?

What do you think their comment is doing? 😂

I'm confused, what about this post makes it about USA? Surely (inb4 don't call me Shirley) there must be several countries with 40 hours work week.
-
If counted by European standards, the US has a 35-hour work week. Americans are counting their five one-hour lunch breaks to arrive at the "office worker" schedule of 40 hours a week, 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday with a lunch break at 12:00 to 13:00
-
I don't know if all european countries. But here the 30 minute break is also counted as work hours.
-
Many, if not most, Americans are probably not being paid for that lunch break, and are in fact working 0800 to 1700 or something along those lines for an actual 40 hours. That's how it was for me the last regular "9-5" that I had 10 years ago, and I'm pretty sure things haven't gotten better since then.
