Anywhere from 50-70 avg. Used to pull 80's when the money was better.

Depends. Can be as much as 80 or closer to 50 depending on the time of year and what is going on.

This week was 44 but sometimes it's much more...has been 60 and up depending on if I am deep in a project

Our official workday is 37.5 hours a week, however as management I am not paid hourly, so not subject to overtime and currently spend about 9 hours a day at work. That will likely increase in two weeks when one of my staff leaves and I have to hire and train a replacement.

I also have a home based side business that averages another 10 hours a week on weekends and evenings.

Depends on work load.

Some weeks it is 20 or less and others can see 80.

On average I would say around 48.

Your not a manager for a retail store are you? I used to work retail, and their employee workweek was 37.5 hours, always thought that was weird.

Depends, I may be at work for all 168 hours that week and get paid for all 168 hours but actually only work 10 hours or less. I am paid from the moment I sign in at the center to the moment I sign out regardless of the amount of actual work I have to do. My average week is about 80 paid hours with about 24 - 36 hours of actual work. I will die on the job before I give this job up! Of course we do have a 30 year forced retirment and I;m about 4 years away.
