French people worked the fewest hours last year, with staffers in Paris clocking up 1,604 hours in 2015 followed by Lyonnaise employees with 1,631 hours, according to a survey by UBS.

根据瑞银一项调查,法国人去年的工作时长最短.2015年,巴黎员工的工作时长达到1604个小时,里昂紧随其后,员工的工作时长为1631个小时.

Spread out across the entire year, that means Parisians worked an average of 30 hours and 50 minutes every week, slightly less than the 31 hours and 22 minutes worked in Lyon.

统计数字覆盖了整整一年,这说明巴黎人平均每周工作30个小时50分钟,比里昂31个小时22分钟的工作时长还要少一点点.

France is currently in the process of banning out-of-hours emails by requiring companies to give staff a set of guidelines that include evening and weekend hours when they should not read or send work-related emails.

Of the 71 cities included in the UBS survey – which measures the average annual working hours, including paid vacation and bank holidays, using a basket of 14 professions – European locations account for the top 18 cities that work the fewest hours each year.

瑞银的此项调查统计了71个城市14种职业每年平均的工作时长,带薪假期和公共假期也被考虑在内——欧洲包揽了前18个年工作时长最短的城市.

London ranks 17th, with its residents toiling away for 1,740 hours last year, or around 33 and a half hours per week.
