Figure 4

A comparison of the number of hours Australian postdoctoral researchers are contracted to work, and the actual number of hours in an average work week. Although 96% of postdoctoral researchers are contracted to work 36–38 hours (black bars), more than 75% work more than 41 hours each week (gray bars). Note 38 hours (the dashed line) is the legal maximum length for a work week in Australia.
