This table contains data on average usual weekly hours worked in the main job broken down by total employment, full-time employment and part-time employment.  Actual hours of work instead of usual hours of work are only available in some countries (Mexico and Korea).  Data are further broken down by professional status - employees, total employment - by sex and standardised age groups (15-24, 25-54, 55-64, 65+ and total).
