So, when did 40 or 35 hours become a work week? Look back through the history of our country and history in general. Putting food on the table was a 70 hour a week job, ( man's work is from sun to sun and a woman's work is never done). Now, we want the same things that it took our predecessors 80 hours to "get" in half the time. I, for one do not understand it.
Tom-
I've never worked a 40 hour week in my life. Would be nice to have more leisure time, but I'm not wired to sit idly.
BUT- use caution when comparing today with yesterday. It's not the same world
(regretfully or thankfully??
) now.
For example, How many would hand dig and hand lay tile now? Zero, zip, nada. But that's how they did it in the past. Also, horses planted and harvested a lot of acres before tractors came along.
The whole point of progress is to make life better, isn't it?
