There has been a trend towards making corporatists (as opposed to sole proprietors) work no more than 30 hours a week. I remember that passage from one of the THS books.
The THS canonical work week is 12 hours IIRC -- I figure that other than creative stuff or little home craft deals or the like there really is very little need for humans to do anything.

More creative people might have a more interesting life though.

John here is pretty typical extrapolating for trends (addiction to WOW, modern Korea) of what people are like in THS.

Poeple are easily hooked on games now, imagine realer than real VR designed witha greater knowledge of psycology -- Instant addict

Since all his needs are met John is happy. He had friends, family at hand, good food, a new world to visist at will, education on demand, good health care etc.
