Key word: “stories.” The average American worker works just under 39 hours a week.

There is some truth to it. I'm thinking those stories come from salaried office jobs. Most lawyers, doctors, auditors, military, and other professionals I work with can easily put in 70 hours a week. And as far as those weekly hour averages are calculated, I wonder how they include people with 2 or more jobs. Also, I suspect that we don't have a great leave system here compared to other developed countries.
