Some other countries if somebody is curious:
- Brazil: 1708
- Canada: 1689
- Mexico: 2137
- South Africa: 2191
- USA: 1765
40 hours a week x 50 weeks a year is 2,000 then whatever holidays on top of that. I can see 1765 being right for the US.
Seems low to me. There are 12 federally recognized holidays. So 2 weeks vacation plus 2 weeks and 2 days of holidays is still about 1900 hours. That’s if you work zero hours over overtime too.
At least more salaried workers will be paid overtime with the new rules thus week in the US.
