Average number of hours actually worked over the year per person in employment (employees and self-employed, full and part time), OECD. Hours not worked (holidays, public holidays, sickness, short-time work) are excluded. The OECD warns these series are meant to follow one country's change over time, not to compare levels between countries (national sources and methods differ).· OECD: for trends over time within a country, not for comparing levels between countries
