Men gradually used their extra time to take on more hours of chores, errands, and child care at home. They did what, now?

I’m baffled because I do not know any single household that works 67 hours total paid labor. I’d say mine because it just me and I’m under the 67 hours but that’s not entirely true as I still get alimony from my ex that I need to pay bills.
Most families/couples I know are working 2 jobs 35-60 hours per week each job so 70-120 hours paid labor per couple. With most being 2 people @ 40 hour jobs for 80 hours.
I understand that’s just the circle of people I know and that there’s plenty of people in the world that could balance that out. The figure just seems disconnected to real life in 2024 to me.
Show me the couples who are both together working only 67 hours total? Where are they? I don’t think many of them are in NJ because the people I know who have a 35 hour per week job have partners who work 50-60 hours a week. Only the SAHP couples I know could make that 67 hours of paid labor. I do not know any dual income couples that approaches that 67 hours. I do know a ton of dual income couples working 80 hours a week. It’s the norm to me
I don’t believe the study, there’s something off, because I have seen no evidence of that being the ‘norm’

It’s the norm to me I don’t believe the study, there’s something off, because I have seen no evidence of that being the ‘norm’ DH works about 50 hours a week and I work outside the home 15 hours per week, so we’re pretty close. I also teach at home 6 hours per week but I’m not sure that counts for their purposes. We are empty nesters with one child completely off the family payroll, and DH and I share one car, so that helps.
