> People can negotiate their contracts.

I’d wager that’s true for perhaps 10-20% of the workforce at best.

You're very optimistic :)

And why would you say that is the case? Bad personal finance skills (high mortgage, student debt...)?

How many people even try to negotiate their work hours? I'd believe you if you claimed less than 10% even think about it, the others just accept their lot as the norm.
