In the past 20 years, has burnout from work gotten worse, or was it just addressed less in the past?

If we exclude the burnout caused from the pandemic, has burnout from work gotten worse in the past, say, 20 years? Or was burnout just not talked about as much in the years before? We don't/didn't hear so much about burnout in the 90's or prior to this, despite the fact that automation was less prominent and a decent number of careers required more physical work on employees' parts than they do now. Burnout from being work is brought up a lot nowadays, and so many more people seem tired and unable to have a healthy work/home lifestyle. Is this due to a change in work, or has it been part of working this whole time but not as openly addressed in the past?
