    Heck...left this out.

    Meant to also post this from the same link in the previous comment: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm

    From the BLS:

    In March, the average workweek for production and nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls fell by 0.1 hour to 33.2 hours, seasonally adjusted--the lowest level on record for the series, which began in 1964.

    Good times!
