The analysis that Jesse Ausubel and Arnulf Gruebler published in 1995 on Working Less and Living Longer: Long-Term Trends in Working Time and Time Budgets is cited in an article on “Stressful Leisure” in World Magazine, a Christian weekly.   We had read the January 2006 report by Mark Aguiar and Eric Hurst on “Measuring Trends in Leisure: The Allocation of Time over Five Decades” as well as its foil, “A Century of Work and Leisure” by Valerie Ramey and Neville Francis (June 2005) and recommend both.  We continue to believe that changes in total life hours worked merits more attention.
