And then some families sent two parents to work and saw large relative benefits. As more families did this, the relative benefit lowered. Employers found they could pay people less and the family would make up the gap with two incomes. Today, many families struggle with two incomes.

Until it becomes necessary for everyone to work while sleeping. So if it holds true that they just count as work hours, most people will eventually be required to double their workload to afford their necessities. permalink fedilink source parent
