Sure I heard on the radio this morning as I was waking up that last year 300,000 new jobs were created but only 3% of them were full time 😯

So, in true STW stylee a poll: How many hours [s]do you work[/s] are you employed to work in a week? If you're self-employed, base it on your total hours.

A/ I'm a student / in full-time education
B/ Part Time [32 hours or less]
C/ Full Time [>32 hours]
D/ I'm retired
E/ I'm unemployed

Not that it's any of my business like; just wondered 8)

[B], but complicated because I spent this week on standby but didn't actually do any work. If you count standby time, then [C].

It can be anywhere from 12-60.

I average around 36 hours per week though. I'm only working 12 hours next week and am dreading it, nothing worse than having too much time to kill.

C - pretty slack these days - never more than 50 hours.

In the bad old days it could regularly be 100+ hours.

C - probably 40ish. I'm an academic who's settling into the mid-career comfy chair. Early career setting up my group it was up to twice that, so feels like a bit of a doss at the mo.

C - 37.5 hours contracted, usually about 42 hours worked though + occasional overtime (also on-call 24x7 one week per month). Probably part-time if you subtract forum time though...

C - Get paid for 36hrs, but my contract states a minimum of 36hrs per week, on average i work 50hrs but get paid only for 36hrs.

The store i work in we only have Managers/Team Leaders and Bakers full-time the rest of the store is all part time, not good!

Freelance, so it varies between less than 5 and greater than 100. As a rule I try and draw the line at around 45 hours per week.

So far we've got (approximately) 1 part=time student, 5 part-time workers, & 19 full-time workers [plus tree-magnet who seems to be holding down half a dozen roles 😆 ] so we're not far off the National average of 25% part-time jobs

B/ 20 hours a week - can be a lot more for a while then a lot less though

I was doing 30 hours a week but had to reduce it due to bastard ME/CFS/PVFS or whatever the **** it is. I don't earn much at all but it's quite nice to have plenty of time to do your own thing.

Well it was 37.5/ wk but gradually dropping as this gov's policies kill our business, so from today a 3/day week. Times are tough, best get motoring on that freelance porfolio - anyone want a environment/SD specialist with research/planning/policy/strategy experience in the public and private sector? No job too small 😉

Work as in job = 0 (I retired 6 months ago)

Work as in 3 children (I'm only 40).... loads and loads and loads (but its still way better than a "proper" job) 🙂

C - around 55-60 at present (plus about 18 hours commuting per week).

Came in this morning and the chap who used to sit in front of me "no longer works here" - hmmmmm, I have taken the point, looks like I will have to up the hours for a bit.

It would probably come under part time, basically working freelance/self employed. I would like to be working full time but there just isn't the volume of work for me to do this, and as such I don't get paid much.

Essentially what Keva said.

I'm contracted to work 37.5 (so [C]) and I get paid overtime. However, I'm violently allergic to paperwork so mostly I just self-regulate instead; so if I'm sat here till 9pm one evening then I'll just take a POETS day on Friday.
