you say that "other countries have a better view of work/life balance"

and then you bemoan the fact that so many people in the US have "given up" on looking for WORK.

Maybe those people who have given up just now have a better view of work/life balance.

Personally I am looking forward to my early retirement when I can say "take this job and shove it" and drop out of the work force. When it comes to the labor force participation rate, I would love to be able to afford to be a NON participant.
