A comment on Percentage of employees working more than 50 hours per week, 2014 OECD area. Parent comment
Every office job I have worked has been 38 hours with no overtime save for a handful of exceptions in 8 years of tech work.
Mining on the other hand can have consecutive 12 hour shifts be the norm, and I am sure that it gets worse than that.
We have some fairly strict award rates/employment regulations that govern things like that, but mining seems to be perhaps one of a few exceptions.
