You seriously need 30hrs, 20hrs and 10hrs or at least "<40 hrs". If you want a fair average you also need to know who is working less then full time. Otherwise of course you will get the result "Oh, most people work more then full time".

I wasn't able to add additional choice. I clicked on "add choice" and entered additional choice but doesn't show up on the poll. Am I doing something wrong?

edit: I think it didn't like when I entered "<40". Maybe it took it as html code. So I added "less than 40"

35 is my goal, but often, it goes beyond that. Also, for this to have any meaning, you should split into self-employed/employee. I am self-employed, so working more is to my full benefit - so the incentive is high to do it without (time) compensation.

As a side note: I actually consider 40hr-contracts that regularly go beyond that time a breach of contract from the employer side. Sadly, I see a growing sentiment that the hours in the contract are actually seen as a baseline and the hours you work more are seen as some kind of commitment-meter.

So if your full time day job is working for yourself, you should stay out of this poll?

Yes. This is just to see how many hours people work for a company other than for themselves.

I am terribly amused by the lack of a "less than 40 hours" option. I know a lot of people that work part time hours, either in big companies or as contractors. And my full time hours are 35-per-week.

37.5 hours is also the maximum office working time you find in the UK too, 40 hours per week is for factory jobs.

I can confirm 37.5 goes for Finland as well.

I am an Israeli soldier, so I work all day long, waking up at 8am and finish working at 12pm. 16 Hours per day, 5 days a week and more 6 hours of work at Friday, it sums up to 86 hours a week. But still, this is an exceptional situation we have here in Israel, I also get paid only 70$ a month.. (btw, sorry for my poor English)

I contract for 10 to 15 hours a week ... which option do I pick?

Or do I pick the roughly 30 hours a week spent on college stuff? Since that is theoretically my full-time "job".

Where's the option for 20-30?
