Ontarians work 3 1/2 weeks less than their US counterparts annually

Ontario’s widening intensity gap with the US peers results from more weeks away from work, involuntary part-time work, and fewer long work weeks. Ontario workers are on the job about 128 fewer hours annually than the median of peer workers. Ontarians are away from work for more full weeks than workers in the peer median. In any given week, about 7.4% of Ontario workers are off the job for a full week.
