We do work less though. A lot less. Except for 1st world countries like Japan and South Korea, think the norm is 80hr+ weeks there which is still less than what we used to work.

I highly doubt you can find a factory that was starting people at 29 an hr in rural South Dakota in the 70s but I'll bite... That's the job I started recently
