I wish I had time to have a better look at this article, but it seems biased in favor of decreasing working hours, in particular facilitated by technology. This is historically and currently not what technology has enabled. Loads of references elswhere talk about the trend in decreasing hours since the industrial revolution reversing in the 1970s. I wish I had time to search out decent references but I am afraid I do not. The handful of statistics and sources I have tried to look up in this article have thrown up dud links. I think something is going on here, but I don't know what. — Preceding unsigned comment added by James Sp8der ( talk • contribs) 16:07, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
As part of Wikipedia's neutral tone policiy, tables featuring pros and cons are suggested to be avoided. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Pro_and_con_lists for more details. This article could use a restructuring that removes the table and incorporates relevant information into the article properly. 121.99.60.155 ( talk) 10:08, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
This is actually a myth - the average is closer to 17. Unless you have a stingy employer, 10 days is usually reserved only for probationary employees or the first 2 years max. In some industries like health care, 20 days for vacation and 5 for sick leave is not uncommon. Wikipedia should be based on fact not popular perception, let alone reinforce incorrect popular perceptions. 12.0.70.131 ( talk) 23:50, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
In Taiwan, the definition of 8 hours working time meaning solid 8 hours, excluding lunch break. Isn't it same in the US? I have worked in the US for two fairly big size employers, one having 5000 employees, the other 18000. The working hours were all 8 to 5. Is lunch hour really considered working hour? 無聲 ( talk) 10:32, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
