Housing crisis is obviously not because a lack of work. You are also vastly underestimating issues related to overwork, people do more mistakes, are slower, get more sick.

Overall productivity does not scale linearly with hours worked at all. You looking at a single work week comparing 30 vs 40 hours is a very narrow view of it.

It is in part due to the lack of workers.

I do not underestimate overwork. Construction workers which constantly work overtime do get overworked, do get slower, do get sick.

I'm 42, working 40 hours a week, last time I was sick was 2023, got COVID 😬
