Ninety-four percent of professional workers put in 50 or more hours, and nearly half work 65 or above.
This sounds crazy exaggerated without any citation. According to wiki, "According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average non-farm private sector employee worked 34.5 hours per week as of June 2012."

- _archon_ 12y agoYour quote includes Wal-mart greeters and burger flippers. I don't find it hard to believe that white collar professionals put in over 50 hours a week on average. My experience is in engineering for manufacturing.
- PythonicAlpha 12y agoIf you cite government statistics you should also add, that government statistics have a long history of "white-washing" data. At least, that is what I experienced the last decades in my country and I don't live in a 3rd world country!
