Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... work, work, work

Despite some expat opinions about bludgers, a new survey had found one in five Australians work more than 50 hours a week, The West Australian reports.

The University of Sydney study looked at the working lives of 8,000 Australians over a five-year period. The key findings include:

• The majority workers spend more than 44 hours a week at work
• One in three workers are unhappy about the amount of time they spend on the job
• Despite working long hours, 85 per cent of workers have debts to pay

The study also looked at differences between casual and full time employment with researchers claiming there is a high degree of discontent on both fronts.

It's claimed many casual employees feel pressurised because of job insecurity, while many full time workers unhappy about are putting in long hours at work.
