Australians in full-time work are doing more unpaid overtime than ever before, while the unemployed and those with a part-time job struggle to find enough to do, a new report shows.

The Australia Institute on Wednesday will release Hard to get a break?, a study looking at the long hours Australians are working, and the barriers to finding work for those who have lost their job.
