AOC says "We’re not going back to working 70 hour weeks"

[Indeependent]

“When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say ‘no, we’re not going back to that.’ We’re not going back to working 70 hour weeks just so that we can put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives,” Ocasio-Cortez finished.
Who in the hell works 70 hours a week?!!!

FACTS.. AOC... FACTS....Do you see the average hours being 70 hours a week!!!

Furthermore, are people actually working “60, 70, 80” hours per week?
The BLS defines full-time workers as those working at least 35 hours per week.
Those working 60 or more hours are workers with two full time jobs, a full time and part time job,
or two part-time jobs that are nearly full-time.
Data show that, among workers with multiple jobs, the vast majority are managing either one full-time job and a secondary part-time job or two part-time jobs. Only a tiny fraction (4 percent) work two full-time jobs.
If we extrapolate their average daily work hours to a full week, multiple jobholders work an average of 42.95 hours per five-day workweek,
relative to 39.7 hours for single jobholders, though they are also more likely to work on the weekends.

Are Most People Actually Working Two Or Three Jobs? Not Really.

A tendency among policymakers to overstate the extent of the problem can be counterproductive and misleading, diverting discussion away from more salient issues.

Not only that, but the more hours that people work, the more they exaggerate. Americans who say they work 75 hours a week tend to be exaggerating by 25 hours. (The average American work week in September was 34.5 hours, according to the BLS.)

SO...AOC... who is working 70 hours a week? How many Americans work 70 hours a week?
Or is this just more BULLSHIT!!!

Yeah, there are people who work 70 hours a week. Most are CEOs, and all of them do so because they want to. Of course she hates CEOs... but whatever.

I've worked 70 hours a week.... to pay off some debts and bills I had decades ago. Then I quit.

AOC and reality.... the non-stop disconnect.

You're lucky.
There are people across our fruited plain living in Blue Cities, who for one reason or another cannot leave, who spend a lifetime working those hours.

The average person working in the food industry works 70 hours a week.

I hope Liberals on Food Stamps and Welfare are prepared to pay a lot more for food.

I guess it would depend on what part of the food industry you are referring to? Most are lucky to get 40 hours...

Especially right now.

[Ken Mac]

In my industry we have machinists and welders that work 72-84 hours per week during the Nuclear outage season. They love it! Lots of money - Time and a half for 32 hours and 12 hours of double time on 7th day. They work hard, live hard and go home and have a lot of time for themselves and family in the summer and winter. If you were to take away a welding superintendent hours during outage season he would make about 80K per year. With current schedule they make about 230K/yr. AOC is really going to piss of a lot of blue collar workers. The live on overtime!

She's an idiot. 100% complete fucking idiot in my estimation.

 

[Ken Mac]

She can get back to Mexico.

I don't think she's ever actually been to Mexico.

AOC is of Puerto Rican descent and is from New York City...

She's never worked an honest days work in her life. She comes from a pampered upbringing and has no clue to how life works for 75% of the people in the US.

Do you really believe these charts reflect reality!?

Yeah. Easily. I've worked several restaurants. Those graphs match up with my experience.

The only people who worked more than 40 hours, were managers.

The reason for this is obvious, or should be. Managers are paid a ton of money (which compares to their responsibility), and they have to run the operation.

Crew, which makes up the bulk of employees, which hold no responsibility, and are paid hourly, tend to work less than 40 hours a week.

The only exception to this, is usually shift managers. The shift managers are paid hourly, so they try and keep their over time low, but at the same time they are also in charge of the shift, and typically this means they end up being the "fill-in" for missing crew. Every employee that is sick, or often simply refuses to work, the shift manager ends up stepping in to take their place.

So compared to my 4 different retail jobs I have worked in the my life, this graph is dead on accurate.

The top manager or store owner, never worked less than 40 hours.... ever.
Top operation managers and so on, also rarely worked less than 40.
Shift managers and mid-level supervisors, worked more or less than 40, depending on employees showing up on-time, or missing work.
And basic employees... rarely is ever worked over 40. In fact, half rarely put in 40 hours.

So again.. yeah. I think the graph is dead on accurate.

Don't believe reality matches "Offical" Government rules.

AGAIN what's funny is how many people is that? 10? 20? 100?
Bullshit! AGAIN subjective unqualified and totally irrelevant to what AOC stated. YES I can believe some worked 80 hours! I did when
I was in college. Worked several part time jobs. Went to class and studied for a couple. BUT that is the EXCEPTION! NOT the rule!
Please stop with the personal, subjective statements "80 hours a week" bullshit!

I worked on Wall Street and most of the guys and gals in the Synagogues in my community have advanced degrees...
They have always worked about 70-80 hours a week to make their 100K+ salaries + benefits.
Blue Collar workers have no choice and if they don'[t work the hours they get replaced.
I suggest you go out and take a real hard look because I know you're a hard core Conservative and you want to believe the US economic system is comprised of total justice.
It isn't.

I used to work for a heavy equipment manufacturer right after college. The laborers,machinists,welders etc worked 10 hr days starting at 5:00/6:00 am. With shorter hours during the summer ( too hot).

What do CEOs do? You don't know? They sign the deals, determine the direction of the company, come up with plans to make new products, refresh old products, and ultimately keep the entire country going.

What do you mean "what do CEOs do?" If you don't know, go learn something. Better yet, go start your own business, and when you are putting in 70 hours a week making that business successful, you'll know what a CEO does.

Dumb question...

 

[Ken Mac]

Most (probably north of 95%) of people who work overtime want the hours. I worked my ass off and I had times where I was working more than 80 hrs a week. for two to three months at a time. Now? Retired at the age of 54. Boy was that a HUGE payoff. I have decades of golden years. All well financed by hard work.

Ya'll take the easy route and have people give you money for doing things that don't provide any value to productivity and see where this nation goes - right into the shitter. Productivity = Prosperity. The only thing that gets around that equation is automation. Someday when mankind has to do absolutely nothing for a job because everything is automated only then will we achieve a utopian socialist society. Until then, we need to move SLOWLY toward it. Otherwise, you tip the scales and everyone is living in shared misery.

To where?
Why not simply thank God that you weren't brought up in one of those metropolises that treats people like shit!
