Australia had an 8.8-million-strong workforce in 2001, among which the vast major ity were hired as employees (6.9 million) and the remaining 1.9 million either owners ‘or managers. Only 29% of Australian employees had a full-time working week of 35-40 hours. 38% of them were working on a part-time basis for less than 35 hours per week, ‘while a third had long working hours of 41 a week or more. ‘When it comes to owners or managers, interestingly, two thirds of them had long- hour working weeks while only about one fifth could have a regular working day. Part- time working, as can be expected, was relatively rare among owners /managers (only 14%). Observing the overall workforce does not lead to any surprises as it simply combines the above two, with about two thirds of all workers working full-time or long hours, and the remaining one third working part-time, To sum up, working overtime was over two times more common among owners / ‘managers than among employees. - 188 words - 178 wwww.nhantrivietcomfb.com/hocieltsmoingay ‘wewwenhantrivieticom 179
