I would disagree about your average because it's brought down by people working multiple jobs that won't generally staff them past those 30ish hours or what ever the magic number is to be just under the required time to be eligible for a benefits package. It's a widely known problem in the work force.

    No, as these are the numbers reported by worker's themselves (Robert Whaples's research) and not by their disparate employers. But looking at it as you suggested, it comes out to 34.3 hours.

    Here are two more views on it:

    Lol? What you just said doesn't disprove what I said. If people work multiple jobs their hours will be lower. Nothing in your studies you presented said people only work 1 job. Just that the hours at any given job are only 30ish hours. Still doesn't talk about people working more than 1 job.
