@FantasticalEconomics @Marrekoo @laubblaeser @breadandcircuses no, because (1) you're comparing people in general to a subset on a weird matric. You might as well claim

> The fact that working hours today are more than they were for those who were unemployed last week is sufficient to say work hours have increased.

And (2) the accounting of free time is not comparable. Try being a subsistence farmer with 600 year old tools and see how much "free time" you have to pursue your interests.
