America on the internet is different from America in real life. The Americans work 34.5 hours a week. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/AWHAETP
And of course, gender also matters here with men working around 40.5hr/wk and women working around 36.5hr/wk.
The real question is why average hours have dropped so much in just a year or so. The most likely answer has a lot to do with underemployment.
Implying I don't know America in real life, never lived there, never visited and don't know actual people there. All not being true. I have zero friends in my home country who work multiple jobs. I have multiple in the US.
> The Americans work 34.5 hours a week.
In my country it's 32. So almost 8% less. Which I'd call significant if working hours is directly correlated to productivity as a country.
In the bottom 10-15% of the society there is some truth to what you wrote. However are you sure you are comparing that with the same segment in your country?
Yes, I come from the bottom of society in my country. I grew up surrounded by people without jobs, blue collar workers and parents that worked in factory and hospitality jobs. Luckily, my country takes care of people in these situations, provides them affordable homes and health care and income and helps them to go to school without ending up with crippling debt.
