An Overworked society?

I realize that I live in America, home to the overworked and chronically tired, but am I seriously the only one left who doesn't mind working, but at the same time wants time for myself?

I only ask because the last two jobs I've interviewed at offered minimal paid time off. The first offered no time off for the first six months, then a year after that. The second offered one measly week, and six holidays. That's freakin ridiculous! I turned the most recent job down based on that time off, along with a more commute more than double my current one. Note that I have a job currently so I can afford to be picky. My current job started me at two weeks, with ten holidays. For those that aren't good at math that's nine days more than the recent offer.

Am I crazy? Does this not get people mad? I understand the concept of work, but I also understand the concept of burnout. The most recent guy seemed surprised when I noted this as a major concern, and also said it had never come up before with any of the other employees. Who are these people who work and word and work, likely underpaid, with no notable reward.

Am I really asking for that much?
