Did people in the past work less than us?

Did people in the past work less than us? Medieval times, 19th century, hunter/gatherer era or when humanity started living stationary & growing crops instead of being nomads. Let's compare any time era of your choice. My routine: 07:30 – 08:00 Commute 08:00 -12:00 Work 12:00 -12:30 Break 12:30 -16:30 Work 16:30 – 17:00 Commute That's 9 hours 30 minutes spent out of home for work. Which leaves me with 6 hours personal time until bedtime. Personal time contains grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, showering, relaxing etc.
