The United States has a very skewed view towards work and individual employee production. At some point in time, cultures must shift to realize that two individuals at 40 hours per week can do the work that one individual at 70 hours per week is performing. The key here is incremental corporate profits must shift from shareholders to employees through aggregate increases in employee costs (2x the employees, half the hours for each). Realistically - this problem is a matter of greed at the business owner level.
