It seems the traditional eight-hour work day is becoming a thing of the past.

A new study out by North York’s Everest College says more than one third, or 35 per cent of Canadians spend at least 10 hours a day at work and commuting.

Albertans topped the list at 44 percent of folks spending at least ten hours away from home, with Manitoba and Saskatchewan tied with 39 percent. Ontario and the Atlantic provinces have 38 per cent. British Columbia sits at 38 per cent.

One perhaps surprising finding of the study is that married people seem to be working longer that singles.

It found 40 per cent of married respondents work and commute for at least 10 hours, compared with 24 per cent of single Canadians.
