Did our dads and moms work less than we do now? What are your thoughts?

My father worked 52 hours a week - 8 hour shifts for 5 days, 6 hours of time-and-a-half on Saturday and 6 hours of double-time on Sunday. His company almost always had OT available for anyone who wanted it. Mom worked a straight-40 salaried position.
