There are Americans working 24/7, though. Surely you have heard of people working multiple menial full time jobs? Jobs are being offshored and cheaper immigrants are being imported who can be paid less. What more evidence do you need?
In most poor countries workers are doing 10 hours per day 6 days a week. With a significant number of them doing 7 days a week.
