Nobody who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty.

Bernie Sanders

Hillary Clinton understands that if someone in America this country works 40 hours a week, that person should not be living in poverty. She understands that we must raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

Bernie Sanders

Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week.

Lori Greiner

I know what it's like to work 40, 50 or 60 hours a week and still not have enough to live.

Cori Bush

By the end of the first month of the 1995 session, each senator will have made more money than any person who works 40 hours a week at minimum wage for the entire year.

William J. Clinton

We should raise the minimum wage so that no one who works full time has to live in poverty

Barack Obama

I think people overplay the 'Saturday Night Live' schedule. I mean, yeah, it can be some late hours. But the late hours are usually only one or two nights out of the week. You might have a crazy six-day week, but you'll work three weeks, and then you get a week off work. I'd take most jobs if it was hard work and then I got a week off.

Hannibal Buress

I went to work at 11 years old. I became governor. It's not a big deal. Work doesn't hurt anybody. I'm all for not allowing a 12-year-old to work 40 hours. But a 12-year-old working eight to 10 hours a week or a 14-year-old working 12 to 15 hours a week is not bad.

Paul LePage

I cannot shoot for 40-50 hours a week.

Abhinav Bindra

I used to work about 100 hours a week; now it's about 70. But 40 hours? Forget about it. Either you're all in, or your not.

Tony Fadell

No one who works a full-time job should live in poverty. It's that simple. We must stand on the side of hard-working Americans.

Alex Padilla

A person working 45 hours per week averages 44% more income than someone working 40 hours per week. That's 44% more income for 13% more time.

Warren Farrell

I'm suggesting that, until America takes care of its debt, untangles the housing mess and gets unemployment under control, we all commit to working six days a week. Yep, move the standard 35-40 hour work week right up to 48 hours.
