Tell that to the French who think 35 hours is full-time.
Maybe Obama is just getting ahead of the curve and further dumbing down the work week to 30 hours so that more people can make less money in a stagnating economy.
As somebody who has been working full-time for over 30 years, I would love to get “down” to a 40-hr work week. That would seem like a part-time job to me. I’ve been working 60+ hours a week all of my adult life.
