Who works the longest hours outside the home?
The Bank of Montreal conducted a telephone survey of 1035 people aged 18 or older in Canada’s five largest cities. Released on November 30, the survey reports that the average work week in Canada’s five largest cities was around 41 hours a week, with some people working 50 hours or more. Tops were workers in Edmonton, where 28% worked outside the home 50 or more hours; in Calgary, 24% worked as many hours. Toronto ranked third, with 20%, followed by Vancouver at 16%. In Montreal, only 7% of workers reported that they worked 50 hours or more.
