23. Not just productivity -- people are working more hours
I don't have the numbers at my fingertips, but I saw something a couple of days ago saying that the average American now works four more weeks per year than in whatever the basepoint year was.
And I've also seen things saying that not only do Americans now receive less vacation time, but many of them are afraid to take all of what they get.
People are being squeezed in every direction possible, and very little of it is showing up in the statistics.
