We are working less and, more importantly, we are working differently (at least in the industrialised/western world). I doubt that there are still many children around in Europe working 60+ a week in coal mines, nor are people who put in exhausting physical work usually working such long hours – both of which was perfectly common less than two centuries ago.

Besides, wouldn’t it be just lazy to stop working and rest on the results of the sweat and pain of our forefathers? :\
