While that does have Japan, the link lacks China and many other countries. Check out this list from Wikipedia[0]

Could be a case where US workers work those hours officially, but Japan workers work a lot on unpaid overtime in addition to those hours.

Highlighted countries in the chart is US and Japan and US is working more hours than Japan. Since TSMC is happy to build factories in Japan, it should be happy to build factories in US, working hours wise.

Per source: “ The data are intended for comparisons of trends over time; they are unsuitable for comparisons of the level of average annual hours of work for a given year, because of differences in their sources and method of calculation.” https://data.oecd.org/emp/hours-worked.htm
