When you're young, flex hours are great. When you have kids, the standard 40 hours are great because you have to match your schedules to many other people.

It's fairly broad to say 'Americans' when this is based off of people applying for a Call Centre job.

I suspect a lot of people applying were looking for steady 'full time' aka 40 hour weeks. And answered as such.

~ The best 40 hour week in my opinion is 4x10 Monday to Thursday. Long weekends and 10 hour days really aren't much worse than 8's.

irregular work schedules set by employers on short notice

I suppose that's flexibility for some definition of 'flexibility'.
