I suspect the Protestant Work Ethic is so strong in the USA in all work places that to argue that working less can be good for a better life balance is almost tantamount to blashphemy. Europe is better (Catholicism perhaps?) in their work life balance, where working hard as you can is not seen as a social and personal good. I also feel its a function of age. Young recent graduates can work for longer, have more energy, have less of a life than people 10 years older with more life, children etc.
