Business Owners Work Twice As Much As Employees
Inc.:
If it feels like your workday never ends, you can at least take comfort in knowing you’re not alone.The majority of small-business owners say they work at least 50 hours per week, according to a recent poll — far more than the national average of 33.8 hours per week reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Thirty-three percent of small-business owners reported working more than 50 hours per week, while an additional 25% said they work more than 60 hours a week, according to a poll of readers of the New York Enterprise Report. The poll, conducted throughout January and February, found that 70% of respondents also worked at least one weekend on a regular basis.

Could not agree more with your input. Small business owners work like there is no tomorrow!

Sure, business owners “work” more, but I bet most business owners find the “work” more rewarding than the employees do.
