Our user yaoihentai suggested a poll similar to last week's, but now dealing with how many hours per week that you work. In case you didn't know, 40 hours is a special choice because it's a standard work week for many people in the USA.
You can submit poll ideas here

Previous Poll Results:
Question: How much do you get paid per hour in US dollars? (Convert from yearly salary if necessary)
Choices:
$51+ an hour - votes: 183 (4.5%)
$31-$50 an hour - votes: 202 (5%)
$21-$30 an hour - votes: 347 (8.6%)
$13-$20 an hour - votes: 692 (17.1%)
$8-12 an hour - votes: 575 (14.2%)
$0.01-$7 an hour - votes: 372 (9.2%)
I'm self-employed or own a business, so it varies too much - votes: 168 (4.2%)
I have an internship or volunteer position that doesn't pay - votes: 117 (2.9%)
I don't have a job right now - votes: 1382 (34.2%)
There were 4038 total votes.
The poll ended: July 27th 2019
People suggested that I separate the people who don't work into separate categories based on why they don't work, which I incorporated for this week's poll

Official I work 30 hours and 40 minutes in a week, practical I work 32 hours a week. The overtime I get back in free days. I will switch to 22 hours and 50 minutes next month, because of circumstances. So, it was rather difficult to chose.
Even after dead, we raise from the ashes for the sake of manga.
31-39 hours, on the higher end that is. I´ll dwindle that down to the lower end over the next few years. The good thing is that I only work for 4 and a half days a week but getting down to 4 can only improve my quality of life.
I also read EU/US comics and am a librarian.
Manga-Masters, My ANN-Lists + Imdb
not including volunteer work
I usually go home half to some hours late, sometimes since I still have some work, but most of the time since it's quite fun in my workplace mmm...
But yeah, it's 40 hours a week with a lot of downtime actually mmm...
I will change this world mmm...
So the world can change me mmm...

61-70 hours on a good week, 80-90 on a bad week, though I went with the former because good weeks are still more common than bad ones (I expect this to become the reverse next year). Yes, this is the unpaid internship I was referring to in last week's post. And on the good weeks I still have to come home and study, so...

I officially have a 40-hour-a-week job but really I put in like 37 on average because of lunch. So I put 31-39 hours.

31-39 hours on average, in the busy season I work more than the 3240 hours my contract has but in the less busy period it is more like 3236 or so.

About the previous poll: There should have been an option for students, etc. (i.e. focusing on another priority/ studies/ health). For my own part, I'm a college student who tutors during the semester, i.e. not at the moment, and I need to get re-hired every semester so… If there had been a "focusing on studies" option, I would have selected that one, instead of feeling like a lazy leech for not having or looking for a job at present.
This poll: Last time I had a job off-campus, I was working about 44 hours a week, often more; I was a waitress, so I was paid house pay+tip, so the pay-per-hour fluctuated too much for me to say (it was usually above minimum wage, I think). There should have been an option for jobs like that.

I work 40+ hours per week. Additional 2-5 hours per week unpaid because I open and/or close up the office.
