Families Starved for time

Linda Feldman

The Christian Science Monitor

Each workday Linda Smith is out the door by 7 a.m. and home by 5:30 p.m., her young daughter, Jessie, in tow.

When Ms. Smith works overtime, she's paid time and a half, as the law requires. But she'd rather be compensated in paid time off—time she could "bank" for future use. ...

Like millions of men and women across the country, smith is caught in the "time famine" that has become a staple of working life in America.
