The underworked American?

An interesting article that runs counter to the general perception that we're increasingly overworked in America. It may be that we're spending more time at work, but because of technology (dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, fast food, etc.), we're apparently spending a lot less time (the equivalent of 7 weeks a year on average) doing "other" work.
