Abstract: This research investigates the relationship between working hours and general health of across different age groups using data from the General Social Survey dataset. 914 full time and part time workers in the US were observed. This study investigated if variations in working hours were associated with differences in health outcomes among individuals of different ages, attempting to provide a comprehensive understanding of how working hours influence health and how this association may vary based on age. The results were insignificant.
