Half of Americans Bring Work Home

Americans feel pressured to work longer hours in order to keep their jobs. The rat race is killing us.

in reference to:

"Nearly half of U.S. adults bring their work home and many say work interferes with family life, a new survey finds. The survey of 1,800 American workers finds work interferes with family, social or leisure life at least sometimes for almost 50 percent of the participants. The worst at this are professionals, the rich, and the highly educated. "People who are well-educated, professionals and those with job-related resources report that their work interferes with their personal lives more frequently, reflecting what we refer to as 'the stress of higher status,'" said lead researcher Scott Schieman, a sociology professor at the University of Toronto. "While many benefits undoubtedly accrue to those in higher status positions and conditions, a downside is the greater likelihood of work interfering with personal life.""
