American workers have cut the number of hours they spend in their jobs since 2019, but no group has cut down its time on the clock more than young, high-earning men whose jobs typically demand long hours.
The top-earning 10% of men in the U. S. labor market worked 77 fewer work hours in 2022, on average, than those in the same earnings group in 2019, according to a new study of federal data by the economics department at Washington University in St. Louis. Over the same three-year period, the top-earning 10% of women cut back time at work by 29 hours.
High-earning men in the 25-to-39 range who could be described as "workaholics" were pulling back, often by choice, says Yongseok Shin, a professor who co-wrote the paper.
"These are the people who have that bargaining power(议价能力)," Dr. Shin says many workers have had the power over their employers in a tight job market. "They have the advantage to decide how many hours they want to work without worrying too much about their life. "
Before the pandemic(疫情), Eli Albrecht, a lawyer in the Washington, D. C. , area, says he worked between 80 to 90 hours a week. Now, he says he puts in 60 to 70 hours each week, sharing Zoom school(上网课) duties for two of his young children with his wife. He says he enjoys family time.
As high-earning workers in the U. S. cut back, low wage workers increased their hours, according to Dr. Shin's research. The bottom-earning 10% of working men worked 41 hours more in 2022, on average, than in 2019. Women in the lowest earning group lifted their hours worked 52 hours more last year compared with 2019.

D、They have the ability to bargain.(2)、What do we know about the top-earning 10% of men?A、They worked 77 hours each week in 2022. B、They increased their working hours in 2019. C、They enjoy being as workaholics at present. D、They have cut down more working hours.(3)、What do we know about Eli Albrecht?A、He is crazy about work. B、He lives in New York. C、He cares about his family. D、He works longer than before.(4)、Which group of people have to increase their working hours?A、The lowest earning group. B、The top-earning women. C、All the lawyers and doctors. D、All men with young children. -
