Poles amongst the longest working, according to OECD

According to OECD's Better Life Index, Poland is the 8th busiest country in the world, with more than 7.4 percent of Poles spending 50 hours at the office weekly, 10 more than the standard job week.  Eurostat data places Poland as the 6th busiest country in the EU. Poles work on average 42.2 hours weekly,  compared to European average of 41.4 hours. Meanwhile unemployment is at 25 years low (8.6 percent in July), which combined is a signal of change from an "employer" to an "employee" market, meaning a stronger position of job seekers in the economy. The average salary in the company sector has risen by 5.3 percent y/y. The changes are said to be caused by the "millenials" generation, which seeks better job standards and flexible time, just as their peers in Western Europe.
