But it really doesn't in that extract. Do they have the option to work more to make more? Is more work available? Are they already working close to or at maximum capacity and their current level of wealth is the result? Without the contextual information available, that's hardly useful. I'm sure somebody that's unemployed and wants to work would work more than they currently are, but can't, because, well, they don't have a job to work at. Some random singular statistic doesn't say anything.

> Most people work more than they need to because they realize that the future is uncertain and having savings will be beneficial if there's trouble at some point in the future. It really does contradict the above statement. This "random singular statistic" is a broad survey of the American populace which concludes that 58% of Americans do not have savings worth mentioning. Those people are clearly not working more than they need to because the "future is uncertain and having savings will be beneficial", otherwise they'd have savings. And 58% is in fact a majority, so the "most people" in the above statement makes it unequivocally false. If you have "better" stats that don't falsify your premise, I'm happy to look at them.
