I think this is a side effect of globalization, work your 40 hours plus with full work load. There are difficulties being sick and still keep up with your tasks and being with family or you will be outsourced to some cheaper labour who will be happy to work the crappy hours for less pay than you. Further global corporations evade paying tax by shifting profits to cheap tax countries and putting losses where the tax is higher. So by globalization we have gotten more stressful work places and created tax loop wholes which the big corps use and avoid contributing back to society to pay their fair share of taxes.
