If its intended as a counterpoint then you are absolutely implying that they were better off. If not, then why bother post it?

There was no implication. You read what you wanted to read, simple as that.

And it's obvious to everyone there are more factors involved with quality of life than how much work you have to do. But it's worth asking why, in this day and age where producing everything has become significantly easier, did we end up working more than previous civilizations? Certainly our technological advancements should have resulted in a decreased workload and we have research showing that we could reduce the average work week by at least 10 hours and still keep up our level of production.
