#2When you're young, flex hours are great. When you have kids, the standard 40 hours are great because you have to match your schedules to many other people.

#3It's fairly broad to say 'Americans' when this is based off of people applying for a Call Centre job.
I suspect a lot of people applying were looking for steady 'full time' aka 40 hour weeks. And answered as such.
~ The best 40 hour week in my opinion is 4x10 Monday to Thursday. Long weekends and 10 hour days really aren't much worse than 8's.

I suppose that's flexibility for some definition of 'flexibility'.
