It's worse than that. On average, we spend 2,080 hours at work. This doesn't account for holidays, but there are also businesses that don't close during holidays, and of course vacations are a luxury for a lot of people. It's a ballpark estimate for working 40 hour weeks all year.
US government uses 2087 hours as the annual amount for employees. Gotta squeeze in that extra 7 hours.
Not everywhere - some use 1,920.
