Even so, it seems unlikely that people will consistently be hired to work less than the ideal amount.
The amount of time you spend working tends to be about the same regardless of your job. It's not inherent in the job. It's the jobs being geared towards how much people will work.
There are many exceptions to the general rule. Gaming industry programming jobs (especially EA), and teaching jobs in public schools, among others, are notorious for eating up huge amounts of employee's time.
OTOH, you're right in that few jobs have less work than employees find ideal.
