The expanding workweek - interesting paper

I stumbled upon an interesting paper:

http://www.nber.org/papers/w11895.pdf

How a workweek transformed in 25 years. Next 10 years it got even more extreme especially in our industry.

What are your thoughts?

Uh, because you guys are on Tinder for like 2 hours, taking a shit for another, and wasting another (give or take) on texting girls and/or checking Facebook/fantasy football/Deadspin/Tinder again before realizing that, oh fuck, it's already 2pm and you've accomplished nothing, at which point you'll make a big show of huffing and puffing and glancing at your watch every 2 minutes for God knows what reason. You then proclaim that you'll "be back in 5" to no one in particular to go grab lunch to eat at your desk because you're so fucking SWAMPED. You then totally feel "so not in the mood" to do your actual job and decide that your tasks could definitely be tackled by one of the smarter analysts. But then what? You can't leave at 5 because, lol, what chode leaves at 5? You start contemplating leaving around 6 but, eh, so many humans outside. 7? Is 7 a good time? Ya, 7 works. God, you've worked 60+ hours again this week—what a fucking asset to the company, you are.
