No idea, because I only work 32 hours a week and still receive full benefits.

The myth of the 'Murican Dream would have people believe, however, that working one's self to death will lead to a better life down the road.

On another note, one may have noticed how Millenials call out of work a lot. It's no wonder, because they'd rather enjoy life while they still can than work 40+ hours a week. Eventually, all work places will either have to decrease work hours in order to provide benefits or not be able to hire anyone to work for them.
