(snip)The old “9 to 5” work week is becoming about as obsolete as the American Dream.
A new Gallup poll finds that economically-stressed Americans are now working an “average” of 47 hours, with a growing number clocking 60 hours or more.
“Adults employed full time in the U.S. report working an average of 47 hours per week, almost a full workday longer than what a standard five-day, 9-to-5 schedule entails. In fact, half of all full-time workers indicate they typically work more than 40 hours, and nearly four in 10 say they work at least 50 hours,” said Gallup, based on their 2014 Work and Education survey.
Full time workers:
— Less than 40 hours per week, 8 percent.
— 40 hours, 42 percent.
— 41-49 hours, 11 percent.
— 50-59 hours, 21 percent.
— 60 hours or more, 18 percent.
Gallup said that salaried workers are putting in more hours, on average five hours more per week, 49 vs. 44 for hourly workers.
That comes with a cost. “While workers earning a salary may enjoy greater income than their counterparts who are paid hourly, they do pay a price in lost personal time,” said Gallup.(snip)
On the 'flip side' ... from
(snip)Bureau of Labor Statistics data show that the ratio of part-time to full-time jobs has completely flipped this year from historical trends. Last year, six full-time jobs were created for every one part time job. This year, only one full-time job is being created for every four new part-time jobs.
The shift to part-time has accelerated over the past several months because of the “look back” provision in ObamaCare that sets the baseline this year for the number of full-time workers a company employs to determine their compliance with the employer pay-or-play mandate.(snip)
The somewhat obvious take-aways from these 'US labor' updates is that part-time work is growing rapidly ... while ( remaining ) full-time workers are being expected to work more and more hours, and 'salaried' full time workers are, on the average, being expected to work the most hours. Also, while there aren't any official statistics available on this aspect, anecdotal evidence tends to indicate that an increasing number of Americans are now working at two ( 29 hour per week max ) part time jobs in an effort to earn enough money to 'keep their head above water'. This translates into US workers with multiple part-time jobs also working a large total number of hours per week.
The relevant implication for dancers and camgirls is that the potential group of US customers who are most likely to ( still ) have 'discretionary' money available to spend on private dances and paid webcams now have significantly less time and energy available with which to do so.

) No, the clubs aren't of the high volume like in bigger cities. We have a bunch of clubs, and customers usually stay close to their own neighborhoods. I just try to find myself in the higher income zip codes.
