If you have children in their 20's, how many hours a week on average do they work?

Just that really

35 , I think!

Given 20s includes still being of typical university age but also potentially well established into a career, I think you need to be more specific in your question

What an odd question! Why would people in their 20's work fewer or more hours than people any other age?

My son is at uni so usually only 8 hours. At the moment he’s working up to 40 as it’s the holidays.

fulltime

Ranging between 40 hours and 65+ hours. The 65 hours is because he loves what he does and has a sideline.

I'd expect people of that age to be working FT, unless they were studying or had young children.

I had a house at 19. Worked 37.5 hours in main job and 20 in my second job to pay for it.

Full time and she also runs dance classes 4 times a week in the evenings and a Saturday morning.

40+

My child is 3 but DH and I were in our 20s very recently, I worked 48 hours / week (40 for a few months) until kids and he varied, 40-70 hours when he didn’t have exams.

8.30 to 5.30 five days a week. I think her hours are long.

3 children in their 20s who all work full time

1 undergrad who is 20 and does a bit here and a bit there

40+ as well.

My ds works anything from
14 hours to 0 over 7 days, but he does have 3 jobs! I think it probably averages out to about 35-40 hours a week. He's 22.

Maybe no kids so throwing everything at thei job?

4 days a week 8.30am-4.30pm

I'm in my 20s and 36 hours

Bit of a weird question. I have one that has a grad job. He works ft, so 37 hrs per week.

The other one is a undergrad student still, so works in the holidays - maybe 25 hrs per week.

40+ Why do you ask ?

You would be amazed. My daughter has a university degree. Has applied for thousands of jobs in her field (many applicants but not many jobs in the field). Has had a few retail jobs whereby they would only contract her either temporarily or 16 hours.
currently now working 30 hours a week and contemplating doing voluntary work to get into her chosen area

I doubt my parents would have had any idea how many hours I worked a week at any point in my 20s, what with my being an adult an' all....

You need to narrow it down a bit! I was at uni until I was 24 so worked about 12 hours a week (more during holidays).

Once I graduated I started a full time job with high expectations so was regularly working 9 - 7pm whilst studying for a professional qualification on top.

It’s a bit of a ‘how long is a piece of string question.

Mine are 25 and 30. They work standard full time hours (9-5/5.30). They will work later if they need to dependant on their work load at the time and sometimes they have to travel a bit but that's all taken into consideration and they can get TOIL if they need to.

40 hrs pw
