This page tracks average annual hours actually worked per worker in Italy, covering all people in employment rather than employees only. Compare against the OECD average of roughly 1,736 hours. Note that cross-country differences are driven as much by part-time share and holiday entitlement as by how hard full-timers work, so read the level alongside the part-time rate.
