Figure 6 shows the distribution of ethnicity throughout the total workforce and throughout those working 50 or more hours each week.

The graph shows that European and “Other” ethnicities are slightly more likely to work longer hours, relative to the distribution of ethnicity among the total workforce. Europeans comprised 65.5% of those working 50 or more hours per week but were 63.23% of the total workforce, while those in the “Other ethnicity” category made up 14.57% of long hours workers but 12.05% of the total workforce.
