   2 corrections applied: The Overworked American was published in 1991, not 1993 | Schor's ~163-hour increase spanned roughly 1969-1987, not 1973-2000

   Before

Sources & Further Reading: Schor, J. (1993). The Overworked American. Basic Books.

   After

   Juliet Schor, economist at Boston College and author of The Overworked American (1991) and The Overworked American follow-up research published in the Cambridge Journal of Economics (2021), documented that average American working hours increased by 163 hours per year between 1969 and 1987... Sources & Further Reading: Schor, J. (1991). The Overworked American. Basic Books.

   Why: Body text was already correctly fixed to (1991) and 1969, but the References/Sources list at the bottom of the article still had the stale 'Schor, J. (1993)' citation year -- the same unverified fact left uncorrected in a second location. Fixed the bibliography entry to 'Schor, J. (1991)' to match the corrected body text and re-saved the post. FAQ field checked, no related content there.
