Combining those two observations gives the wrong impression. On the first, the notion that the top 20 percent were twice as likely to work long hours as the bottom, it needs to take account of the dramatic changes in the structure of the workforce since 1983, i.e, the declining loss of high wage unionized factory jobs and the increasing presence of low wage service sector jobs. In short, that may be more of a structural labor force change than the high income earner just work longer hours. As for the Venti/Wise research that's really about a different phenomenon. Not the poor versus something else.
