Australian work culture embraces the \u201cgrindset\u201d<\/h2>\n
Australians are considered some of the hardest-working citizens in the world. In fact, at the start of the 2000s, Australia was ranked the hardest-working nation in the Western world, only surpassed by Japan and the US.<\/p>\n
With that in mind, we wanted to uncover the working habits across the nation and reveal which cities are the hardest working in Australia. We combed through the latest ABS data and weighed various factors to assign each Australian city a hard-work index score \u2014 and the results even surprised us!<\/p>\n
