Also other data show a decrease in average hours worked, but even if it has increased recently its a blip in the long term down trend. We might (or might not) be working longer hours in a regular work week but not a lot more, and we take more vaction time. Also we start work later on the average and have more years after retirement. Lets assume that the study I presented was inaccurate and that the truth is closer to what you provided below, then please explain the huge increases in the past twenty years of stress related diseases such as diabetes, asthma, migraines, high blood pressure etc.? Obesity, asthma and depression have become chronic in this country. Not only are we as obese as we have ever been but we are on average the fattest people in the world. There are more and more reports of adult onset diabetes in our children. Some children are showing signs of high blood pressure and heart disease. Some of this can be blamed on poor diets and gameboy but not all of it. As adult pressures increase so do those of children. ted
