2. 3 6 1 National News ▶Reading Comprehension Tired Koreans Koreans work the longest hours and take the fewest holidays among the members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) according to a survey by Job Korea, an online job portal. Koreans worked an average of 2,256 hours in 2008, down from 2,316 hours a year earlier. But it was still the highest among the 30 OECD members and far more than the OECD average of 1,764 hours. After surveying 952 salaried employees, Job Korea said that they are given an average of 12.2 days in annual leave but spend only 8.4 days for vacation on average. About 66 percent of the workers said they are unable to take a break from work because of the heavy workload, unfriendly workplace atmosphere regarding holiday takers and the negative evaluation from senior officers. Low-ranked workers find it more difficult to take annual leave than managers and other senior-level employees. Moreover, when comparing to employees in other advanced countries, Korean workers are heavily overworked and not free to take vacation. While 89 percent of workers in France usually take all of the legally-guaranteed annual leave, only 53 percent of Korean workers spent all their vacation days. ☞ Choose the best answer based on the article.
