This table contains data on employment by hour bands for usual weekly hours worked in the main job. Standard hour bands are reported for most countries. Actual hours of work instead of usual hours of work are only available in some countries (Japan and Korea). Data are broken down by professional status - employees, total employment - by gender and standardised age groups (15-24, 25-54, 55+, total). Data are expressed in thousands of persons and are presented from 1976 onwards.
