For most of human history rich people had the most leisure. On the flip side, the poor had to work 【C1】______. Hans-Joachim Voth, an economic historian, says that in 19th century you could tell how poor somebody was by how long they worked. Today things are different. Overall working hours have 【C2】______ over the past century. But the rich have begun to work longer hours than the poor.
There are a number of 【C3】______. One is that higher wages make leisure more expensive: if people take time off they give up more money. Since the 1980s the salaries of those at the top have risen strongly, while those below the median have stood still or fallen. Thus rising 【C4】______ encourages the rich to work more and the poor to work less.
The status of work and leisure in the rich world has also changed. Back in 1899 Thorstein Ve- blen offered his 【C5】______ on things. He argued that leisure was a "badge of honor". Rich people could get others to do the dirty, 【C6】______ work. Yet Veblen’s leisure class was not idle.

Work has come to offer the sort of pleasures that rich people used to seek in their leisure time. On the other hand, leisure is no longer a sign of social power. Instead it 【C10】______ uselessness and unemployment.
