Working 40 hours a week used to mean a minimum standard of living and a foothold on the first rung of the economic ladder to the middle class.

For 42 years, I worked nonstop from 7 A.M. to 5 P.M., day in and day out.

People who work 44 hours per week make 50 percent more than people who work 34 hours a week.

Working hard is way more fun. If you had to goof off 40 hours a week, you couldn't do it. It would drive you crazy.

Once upon a time, I was a workaholic clocking more than 80 hours per week. That changed after I began to write. I now work only around 35 hours per week. I do not work on weekends because these are the days that I use for research as well as for my writing.

I still manage to spend around 40 hours a week at work but it is a lot more focused on what can make money as opposed to what makes me look good in the papers.

I'm working over 80 hours a week and have to keep on track.

While in my late teens and in my 20s, I worked seven days a week, 20 hours a day. I worked my tail off.

I usually work 16-hour days.

Most working days I can be at my desk for nine hours a day.
