- Highest-paid workers are working fewer hours than before the pandemic, driving down the average workweek
- Women, young workers, and lower-paid workers also working less on average

- Could signal companies "hoarding" workers and giving less hours rather than layoffs
- Part of broader shift in attitudes about work-life balance after the pandemic
