tastythrowaway2··on Dear Google, Apple, Mozilla, and MS: Please End Auto-Playing Media in Browsers

tastythrowaway2··on Americans Work 25% More Than Europeans, Study Finds
there is a correlation but that does not mean the jobs are elastic. it is not reasonable to assume that higher paid workers can simply switch jobs or even career paths simply to trade available free time for lower compensation.
