I came to a screeching halt when I read "The Great Workweek Shift" chart. I can't think of a more misleading way to present that kind of data.
Then "The Growth of Leisure Time for Men" chart is silent on whether the men with fewer than 12 years of education would prefer to swap this extra "leisure" time for paid work. In the last paragraph he refers to this as "downtime" instead.
Very little source data cited. Clever unit shifting on most of the graphs. Generally strange mixed messaging.

- gohrt 13y agoTechnically unemployment is time spent looking for work. People not looking for work are excluded. Naturally, such a distinction is difficult to do accurately.
