Most Americans who have jobs live
more comfortably than people in any
other country in the world. They
usually work a forty-hour week and
they have two weeks' holiday a year
as well as the official holidays like
Thanksgiving and Christmas. In 60%
of families, both the husband and the
wife go out to work. Although more
than 40% of the land is farmed, not
many people work as farmers, and
fewer Americans work in factories
than in the past. Most jobs are now
in hospitals, banks, hotels, shops, etc.
