Her solution is not very compatible with the global competition we face in 2005 and forward. Only true solution I see is to get the best job possible in terms of time, money and happiness (or better still, owning a successful small business), and LBYM. I don't think the rest of the world is going to cooperate with lightening our load ...
We're working more than medieval peasants did, and more than the citizens of any other industrial country.
On average, we work nearly nine full weeks (350 hours) LONGER per year than our peers in Western Europe do.
Working Americans average a little over two weeks of vacation per year, while Europeans average five to six weeks. Many of us (including 37% of women earning less than $40,000 per year) get no paid vacation at all.
