Many people say they are working more than ever and have very little time for fun. But a new study says this isn't true. North Carolina State University economist Mike Walden explains the study's findings.

"I think a lot of people will disagree - but perhaps see the explanation here. The authors define work very broadly - not just time you spend at your job but time in household chores like cooking, shopping, keeping house, running errands," says Walden, a specialist with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.

"And they say when you look at this comprehensive measure of work - both work in the job place as well as in the home - there's been a big drop in total work among Americans over the last 40 years.

A large reason for this is the advent of modern conveniences at home, as well as the fact that many households now pay to have some household chores done rather than do them themselves.

So, why might people feel as if they are working more? The authors say there could be two reasons: Number one, your time is more valuable today. And number two: There is so much more for us to do with our time that it may put pressure on us. And so we think: 'Gee, we can never get all these things done.' "

Answer 1

Olá!!1 Bom vamos lá!


O texto nos mostra uma pesquisa feita de o porque as pessoas acharem que elas trabalham mais nos dias de hoje quando na verdade isso não significa que elas trabalhem mais , mas sim que elas tem muito mais opções de coisas para fazer e isso da a impressão de que elas trabalham mais uma vez que elas não conseguem tempo para fazer tudo que querem.

Ou seja, a pesquisa nos trás uma relação de ilusão, onde na realidade não são as pessoas que trabalham mais, mas sim a possibilidade de fazer várias coisas diferentes, por isso podemos assinalar como correta a alternativa c.

Espero ter ajudado em algo!
