In large part that relates to the low pay of anyone that still qualifies for Overtime in the US. But also because it's calculated on a week by week basis. Work 60 hours in one week with double over time and you get to take 1 full week off. Change that to a monthly or yearly basis and people are less inclined to work overtime.
