> we are all working a lot more the ones who have jobs ... that is not surprising. In a society where ones identity is tied to ones job as tightly as it is in the US, its not surprising that as the job market shrinks, the people with jobs will tend to work harder and harder to justify having said jobs. And when i talk about this scenario, I'm not talking about 10 20 or even 30 years. I'm talking 100, maybe 150 years from now that this becomes a reality.
