>> the number of hours in US worked has been increasing <<

US workers have been working longer and longer hours - in 1999 70 hours more a year than Japanese workers and 350 hours more a year than European workers.

I haven't seen good statistics for 2002 but anecdotally that's the way companies are handling the slowdown, by letting workers go and making the ones who keep their jobs work ever longer hours.
