Americans are tired. The grindset is to blame. | It's Been A Minute

America’s workers are tired – here’s why. Do you feel like you can never get off the grind? From gig laborers to salaried workers, a lot of people are keeping their noses to the grindstone in order to remain afloat, avoid job loss, and stay one step ahead of market fluctuations. But this culture of overwork isn’t new – according to Erik Baker, (https://histsci.fas.harvard.edu/peopl...)

Brittany sits down with Erik to discuss how we got here – and how we can untangle the culture from these working conditions. Support Public Media. Join NPR Plus.
