The concept of work-life balance refers to achieving a harmonious state between one's professional career and personal life, where both work and personal life are given equal attention and satisfaction. In the United States, due to high work pressure and intense competition, the concept of work-life balance is particularly important. Many Americans face long working hours, frequent overtime, and limited vacation time, leading to physical and mental exhaustion, hindering their enjoyment of life. Therefore, work-life balance has received widespread attention in the United States, and many companies and organizations are beginning to adopt measures to help employees better balance work and life, such as providing paid leave, flexible work hours, and remote work options. However, achieving work-life balance is not easy; it requires personal effort and support from both the company and society.
