No, the opposite happened during the early stages of industrialization. Factories and industries often required long working hours, sometimes up to 12-16 hours a day, to maximize production. It was only much later, with the rise of labor movements and advocacy for workers' rights, that the standard workday was gradually reduced to 8 hours, giving people more leisure time.
