"It’s high time we put aside the notion that hard work is the key to economic success." But do BLS surveys accurately reflect the hours worked for salaried employees? Many of my employers had no real idea of how many hours we worked (sometimes around the clock as deadlines approached on IT projects), and other employers would not want to admit the true number in case they ran afoul of labor laws. So perhaps San Jose's hours-worked should be deep red, even if the "official" hours-worked are only orange.
