| Abstract: | An astonishing two-thirds of all American workers - over 75 million people - put in anything but traditional hours. Rather, they clock more than half their workday outside Ward Cleaver's time zone, the one that starts after breakfast and ends before supper, Monday through Friday. That's the big surprise in a new analysis of government data by University of Maryland. From big-name financial service outfits to no-name repair shops, businesses are responding to a collective impatience - to a country full of anglers who know that the bass bite best in the dark. Increasingly, the attitude is, "If I'm up, why aren't you?" Working parents want to do their banking, buying, and bookkeeping when it's convenient for them - after the kids go to sleep. |
