How many hours of work per week is common in the private sector in your country?

[Akashrangwani1997]

In my country you have to work for approximately 60 hours a week

It varies by state in the US. Typically it's 40 hours a week but where I am, it's 36 hours a week to be considered full time. If you're assigned 12 hours in a day, anything over those 12 hours on that same day is considered overtime and is tallied in with your weekly overtime hours. Just depends on where you work and what the labor laws are.

60 hours? Da fuq.

Well, I work 37, which is already too many.

However, I think I might take a few private hours on.

In the US, it is a standard 40 hour workweek for adults/people not in school. Many work more than that.

Being a student, my hours of work are really, really limited.

35 hours is considered full-time, but many people work considerably more.
