Oh, stop. 46 hours at your typical office job is a snooze.
Go back a generation before 1970—let alone, two, three, four five or six—and Americans were really working, whether the land or otherwise.
The average American work week in 1950 was 40 hours.
40 hr weeks might have been typical work loads for hourly wage earners with steady work from one employer, but I don’t think I know one family member from three generations who didn’t work about 18hr workdays or about 80-100hr work weeks and Sundays were respected as a day of rest dedicated to God.
