Did the survey ask if they wanted a pay cut to match European style wages?

Fair question. I think many Americans in higher income brackets would say yes; it’s just that they’d never had the option. Ditto on a 4 day work week.

Americans with higher incomes likely have very good vacation policies.

I get 25 days per year.

I get 25, plus 8 bank holidays, plus an office closure for 10 days (which is technically 7 because there's 3 bank holidays during that time period) during the holiday period, and we closed for a week during Summer this year too.
