Colombia is officially the hardest-working OECD nation in the world, with the typical employee's average working week lasting 47.5 hours in 2022.

While it might be the highest number on our list, it's actually a decrease from 2021, when Colombia's working week was a staggering 47.6 hours long.

The maximum legal work week is 48 hours over six days, with Sunday usually a mandatory rest day in the South American country. However, new legislation offers overworked Colombians some respite with plans afoot in the country to reduce the working week to 42 hours.
