I'd argue that one comes with the other though. Once 32 hours is normalized, 40+ hours becomes an outlier, which means that 50+ becomes an extreme outlier. Wit

I'd argue that one comes with the other though. Once 32 hours is normalized, 40+ hours becomes an outlier, which means that 50+ becomes an extreme outlier. Within a few decades culture changes and working 40 hours would be looked at in much the same way we work at 50+ hours. Even then there will still be people working 80+ hours to make ends meet but fixing that is basically fixing poverty which is definitely much harder.
