I'm surprised no one has replaced the entire Wikipedia page on Sampling Bias with a link to this study that only looked at the work habits of CEOs.

- bluGill 3y agoThis would only be sampling bias if someone made the claim that working 58 hours/week is what you need to become a rich CEO. That claim is false, but a survey of CEOs only would make it seem true. (there are lots of people working 60+ hours/week in low end jobs that will never make CEO - as any sample would tell you) The claims here though are CEOs generally work more than average despite their high income where they seem to have plenty of money. That claim checks out.
- antifa 3y agoIt might have more to do with claiming to work more than doing actual work. For example, musk claims he works 80 hrs/wk, but obviously 60 of those hours are goofing off on Twitter.
