by admin on November 26th, 2007

Employees in Korea worked about 51.7 hours each week last year.

For that, they brought home about W1.9 million ($2,050) each month.

Each worker was about 43 years old and had on average 13 years of education.

The average Korean worker stayed at their workplace for 10.5 years.

Self-employed workers made about $50/month more but worked 8 hours longer each week while keeping their businesses going for about 16 years on average.

Lawyers made the most money - 4 times that of the average.

Airplane pilots made 3.5 times the average.

Financial and insurance managers made 3 times the average.

The longest work weeks went to security guards and building maintenance managers at 69 hrs/week.

And expats…pay out the gazoo to live in Korea.
