Average hours worked has gone down steadily over the last two centuries: > 1830 69.1 hours per week > 1880 60.7 > 1929 50.6 > 1988 42.4 > As the twentieth century ended there was nothing resembling a shorter hours “movement.” The length of the workweek continues to fall for most groups — but at a glacial pace. Some Americans complain about a lack of free time but the vast majority seem content with an average workweek of roughly forty hours — channeling almost all of their growing wages into higher incomes rather than increased leisure time. https://eh.net/encyclopedia/hours-of-work-in-u-s-history/ |
