Chart of the Day: Singaporeans worked 42.9 hours a week in June

The percentage of part-time workers rose despite the slight climb in their work hours.

This chart from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) reveals that the average weekly usual hours worked among employed residents declined for the ninth successive year to 42.9 hours in June, from 43.0 hours YoY.

This was attributed to the continued growth in share of part-timers in the workforce, which outweighed their slight climb in work hours from 20.9 to 21.1 hours over the same period.

Meanwhile, the average work hours of full-timers held steady at 45.8 hours, after trending down from its 2010 peak.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
