>which was roughly when laws limiting daily and weekly hours of labor started to be passed.
WHAT? You fucking desperate liar.
This is a blatant falsehood, there were no laws like this.
even if there were in america, there are countless other countries shown in that image that had zero laws like this.
This was a time labour unions were whining about working hours. Literally every thing you say is a blatant lie.

The main law passed that was actually enforced was the 40 hour work week, which was passed long before the market decreased working hours.

Economic production is what decreases working hours you fucking idiot. How fucking stupid can you possibly be you don't recognize this basic fact about reality and history.

you honestly fucking think we could have enforced a 40 hour work week in 1870 without causing massive unemployment and starvation?

You people are beyond helping, you must have some pretty severe brain damage.

>As the laws became more general and strict, the average working hours were reduced
It wasn't LAWS you fucking idiot. That's like saying your laws were what caused wages to rise during these periods.

Laws didn't cause wages to rise, laws didn't end child labour. ECONOMIC PRODUCTION DID. More people had more things and didn't have to work as hard to get them. It's common fucking sense.

>though productivity continued to rise and energy prices continued to go down.
Also during this time and after we were on a fiat money system. Which means it's impossible for prices to come down for the mechanism I am talking about to occur. Moron.

>tl;dr working hours were regulated to some degree for the entire span your chart covers,
Lol but they weren't. Holy shit
Why can't you deal with the fact you are wrong?

>60-70 hours is about as much time as it's possible for an average man
They would go up to about 80. This is what life was for most of human history, POVERTY. Until capitalism came along and we started the industrial revolution.
