What Increases Or Decreases In Leisure Time Are Seen Across Groups With Different Levels Of Education, And To What Extent Do Educational Differences In Employment Status Account For These Changes? That Is, If Workers With Relatively Little Education Are Less Likely To Be Employed Today Than Twenty Years Ago, Does That Explain An Increase In Their Leisure Relative To More-Educated Workers? Aguiar And Hurst Find That The Leisure Time Of The Average American Has Risen By About Four Hours Per Week Since The Mid-1960S Moreover, The Leisure Gap Between The Less Educated And More Educated Has Widened, As Leisure Time Has Increased By Eight Hours For Americans Without A High School Diploma And Decreased By Six Hours For College-Educated Americans What Accounts For This Puzzling Divergence?
