POLL: How Many Hours a Week Do You Work?

A new Rasmussen survey shows more than 40 percent of employed Americans put in more than 40 hours a week at work.

By Kristi Reed

Are you among the 40 percent of employed Americans who work more than a 40-hour week? That number includes the 9 percent who work in excess of 50 hours a week. Only 31 percent of employed Americans enjoy a work week that tops out at 40 hours. However, of those who work 40 hours a week or more, most still think they have a good work/life balance according to a recent survey.

The Rasmussen survey also showed 28 percent of employed Americans now work fewer than 40 hours a week with 10 percent of those individuals working less than 20 hours each week.
