    Compared to the productivity of 30 years ago, we probably work as much as the people back then would have to work in a 70 hour workweek.

    Weirdly enough pay didn’t raise close to productivity…

      You are roughly four times as productive each hour as your grandparents.

        Don’t forget tgat was typically off judt grandpa’s salary so really you’re 8x as worse off.

          The measure is given as value produced per man hour (I know).

          Nevertheless, the wage gap, housing commodification, and the erasure of the family wage are also extremely relevant issues.
