nah the reason why people are working full time in the US today is not because food production requires that much work input, it’s because of everything else.
to produce food, according to some calculations, you need about 1.2 hours of labor per person per week on average. source: read it a while ago. 2% of population produce enough food for 200% of population, assume these 2% work 60 hrs/week, that makes 1.2 hours per week if 100% of people were working in agriculture.
the reason why the people work full time is not because food production takes that much effort, but because agriculture is not the only thing that people are busy in. so you don’t have 100% of people working “for food”. it’s everything else that takes the 98% of effort, not the food production.
