Every year, the American Time Use Survey asks thousands of Americans to record a minute-by-minute account of one single day. For many “prime-age” adults, those between the ages of 25 and 54, a significant chunk of time on weekdays is taken up by work.

They don't want to work in factories or farms, but at the same time, the white-collar lifestyle remains far out of reach.
