>> to compete with others in the workplace, I need to work >12 hours/day, can't do with kids or will be laid off The Bureau of Labor Statistics in the US tracks this. Average weekly hours worked as of April of this year is 34.4, or 6.9 hours a day: https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t18.htm. For IT, that would be under "Information" on that chart, so the average was 36.3 hours, or 7.3 hours a day. In addition, the number of hours worked per day has been falling historically in the US. So if a high number of hours worked was negatively associated with birth rate, birth rate should be higher now than in the past. As far as being laid off, the unemployment rate is as low as it has been in over half a century. |
