A Workaholic Economy 1 FOR THE first century or so of the industrial revolution, increased productivity led to decreases in working hours. Employees who had been putting in 12-hour days, six days a week, found their time on the job shrinking to 10 hours daily, then, finally to eight hours, five days a week. Only a generation ago social planners worried about what people would do with all this new-found free time. In the US, at least, it seems they need not have bothered. 2 Although the output per hour of work has more than doubled since 1945,leisure seems reserved largely for the unemployed and underemployed. Those who work full-time spend as much time on the job as they did at the end of World War II. In fact, working hours have increased noticeably since 1970perhaps because real wages have stagnated that year. Bookstores now abound with manuals describing how to manage time and cope with stress 3 There are several reasons for lost leisure. Since 1970, companies have responded to improvements in the business climate by having employees work overtime rather than by hiring extra personnel, says economist Juliet B. Schor of Harvard University. Indeed, the current economic recovery has gained a certain amount of notoriety for its jobless nature: increased production has been almost entirely decoupled from employment. Some firms are even down sizing as their profits climb. All things being equal, wed be better off spreading around the work, observes labour economist Ronald G. Ehrenberg of Cornell University. 4 Yet a host of factors pushes employers to hire fewer workers for more hours and, at the same time, compels workers to spend more time on the job. Most of those incentives involve what Enrenberg calls the structure of compensation: quirks in the way salaries and benefits are organized that make it more profit able to ask 40 employees to labour an extra hour each than to hire one more worker to do the same 40-hour job.
