In: Other
Said simply everyone is overworked (60hrs is on the lighter side of a normal work week).
Why the change compared to, say, 30 years ago? Because women entered the workforce. Meaning now everyone (not just men) is too busy for a personal life, i.e. fewer and fewer social events to meet people and less time/month to spend with the people you do meet.
