Over the last two decades, American workers have been clocking more and more hours on the job, and they now work more hours than workers in any other industrialized country. Annual work hours are 4% higher than they were in 1980, amounting to an extra 1 hour and 30 minutes at work per week, on average (ILO 1999). Workers are also clocking more overtime hours. Almost one-third of the workforce regularly works more than the standard 40-hour week; one-fifth work more than 50 hours.

A normal person would buy a $4.99 all you can eat buffet, or gross

According to research working long hours which consists more than 40 hours a week or over 12 hours a day leads to an increased medication errors and patient mortality. The probability of making medication errors increases tremendously when nurses work longer than 12.5 hours a day. During surveys regarding reasons of overtime, 60 % of nurses stated that overtime was obligatory as part of their job, 29 % of nurses stated that they volunteered and 41% of nurses stated that they were “on call hours” (Bae, 2012)

It is certainly true that the current law defining the employment status of ‘workers’ is uncertain, as it is wholly inflexible to deal effectively with cases of non-standard forms of employment, atypical workers, for example: agency workers, part-time workers, fixed-term workers, as required workers and homeworkers.

In today's society, many people are victim of being exploited of labor. Some of these people may not even fully know it themselves. It is a very serious problem in countries around the globe, as well as the United States. Many people who it does not affect may turn a blind eye, not care, or not have enough knowledge on it to form a solid opinion.

Some recent examples of this are labor trafficking, women workers, and immigrants in the workplace. I will show how these examples are prevalent and common, as well as how they compare to Marx’s Communist Manifesto, and Marx’s theory.
