If you’re heading to the pub this weekend, here’s the proof you need to know you deserve it.

We’re a hard-working bunch, and it appears we’re carrying a fair share of the load with our European neighbours.

The latest news from Statista has outlined the longest working hours in Europe… and let’s just say we’re glad we’re not toiling away in Greece.

Coming in at 42 hours a week, the Greeks topped the poll for longest hours in a working week, followed closely by Portugal on 39.3 and Spain at 38 hours per week.

The study also found France falling to number four with 37.5 hours per week.

Ireland came in at number seven on the list – with the Irish workforce racking up 35.4 hours on average per week. We fair marginally better than Italy and our neighbours over in the UK who averaged 36.9 and 36.5 hours respectively.

So feel free to order another pint and have a sleep-in in the morning.

After the week you’ve had, you deserve it.
