The Labour Force Survey asks a large sample of households about their work every quarter. These figures are for 2026-Q2 and are survey estimates, so small differences are not meaningful.
About 44.9 thousand people said their hours vary too much to give a usual figure; they are left out. The top band is "45 hours and over", so above 45 hours we can only say "at least".
