Including paid days off for public holidays, the EU average is 33.8 days per year, but Ireland comes in practically dead last, with only 28 days year. On the higher end, Croatia gets 41 holiday days per year, while workers Denmark get 39 and those in Germany get 37.
Spread out across an entire year, the EU average working annual average is 1,719.5 hours, which sounds like a crazy amount, right?
Well, Ireland is well above that average, with workers here coming in at 1,809.6 hours a year, the 8th highest in the EU.
Up top is Estonia and Hungary, both with 1,856 hours a year, while those with the handiest year are those in France, with just ("just") 1,616.2 hours a year. That works out at 24 less working days a year than we get.
Anyone else suddenly in the mood to learn French?
