'@Rogers' I've hit five months long crunch times with 60-70 hour weeks just a few years ago, with day and night shifts within the same week, add to that an hour to get to work, another to return home. Having washing machine meant that I only looked like zombie, otherwise I'd smell like one too. That's just logistics, people who do mining have it worse even with all the automation.
That baseless stereotypes survive for 30-70 (and 70 is barely applicable only to USA) years is not entirely obvious. Either it is supported by some material necessity, or it isn't as wide spread as it supposed to be. In any case, something that exists within one or two generations (with plenty of countries not rich enough to afford convenience to this day) is recent.
