But if someone works relatively long hours they may not see their kids much regardless. For example if someone works on Wall St - they may have to leave the house at 6am and be home at 8pm. That doesn't leave a lot of time to see young kids.

In more developed countries we have laws that protect workers for such long hours.

Laws never stopped big companies or employers that wanted a job done...

Exactly. Particularly when they're written by and for said companies, or the ones who own them.

Looking around... yes. It's working fine.
