Leisure Time Not Boosted By Labor Saving Gadgets
A report by Dr Sebastian de Grazia and August Heckscher from the Twentieth Century Fund finds the typical American worker still clocks about 48 to 50 hours weekly with part-time work and unemployment shaping leisure. The study notes time spent commuting averages 14 hours weekly, and that high percentage of workers engage in nonprofessional painting or other creative activities for recreation. It argues that despite labor saving devices, free time remains limited and influenced by broader social and economic patterns.
