Guatamalan women work 11.5 hours a day, while South African men work only 4.5.

Kenyan women work 35% longer than their menfolk.

Ethiopians are by far the most agricultural people on earth (both men and women)

Looking for Czech and Slovak men? Half are in factories.

Women are flooding into the workforce in many Muslim countries.

American women have the most powerful jobs.

Southern European women hugely outnumber their menfolk amongst the unemployed.

Danish workers strike 150 times more than their German neighbours.

More than a third of the time, Icelanders don't show up for work. Perhaps that's why they're the world's happiest nation.

In Switzerland, the average person has to work for 102 minutes to buy a kilogram of beef - one of the longest times in the developed world. On the other hand, they only have to work 14 hours to buy a refrigerator for it.

61.5% of Swedes work more than 40 hours per week, but just across the border in Norway only 15.8% of people work this long.

If you are looking for work, just go to the Falkland Islands! They have full employment and a labor shortage.
