While this study may be accurate, it doesn't seem to take into account lots of different factors. First of all, working longer hours is NOT a good thing. It greatly impacts quality of life, health and family. In the US, we work more than any other First World country. Again, that's NOT a good thing. Secondly, many poor people have more than one job. They might be working 70 hours a week, but at three jobs. If they counted each job individually, it wouldn't seem as much. Beware of statistics. They aren't perfect, and can be skewed (even unintentionally) by things like this.
Oh, and JenDiggity... Yes, please continue to help us poor folks out. We're too stupid to know how to get rich. Maybe it's all the crack we smoke!
