What Was That About - Easy Money ??

From Stats Canada....


People in the Prairies work the most hours in the country, while Quebecers work the fewest, according to a study released Monday by Statistics Canada.

The study examined how many hours the average person worked in each province in the year 2004. Here's a breakdown of the numbers:

  • Alberta — 1,880 hours a year, or 36.2 hours a week.
  • Manitoba/Saskatchewan — 1,860 hours, or 35.8 hours a week.
  • Ontario — 1,850 hours, or 35.6 hours a week.
  • British Columbia — 1,790 hours, or 34.4 hours a week.
  • Atlantic provinces — 1,780 hours, or 34.2 hours a week.
  • Quebec — 1,750 hours, or 33.7 hours a week.

The study was based on a 2005 telephone survey of 19,500 paid Canadian workers between the ages of 25 and 54.

On the Prairies, 12 per cent of workers reported working very long hours — more than 2,300 hours a year, or 44 hours a week. By comparison, only six per cent of Quebecers reported working that many hours.
