Anyways I really think it depends. The job I just got promoted to at work for example is WAAAAY easier than what I was doing before, less strenuous and pays $4 more on the hour. You also get a lot more **** if you **** up. A job I am going to school for to have, as a power plant operator starts out at $24/hr and tops out at around $60/hr in 3 years time, you sit down most the time, do paper work, read graphs, do a little trouble shooting, a few physical things, etc but not near as strenuous as the job I just got promoted to either, however you are in charge of well...electricity. So I think its a give and take type of deal depending on your job area. I will be working just as hard if not harder in some ways, and much less in other ways.
 
How does one define, "work harder"?

Higher paying jobs are less strenuous, while more physical jobs pay less. This is because physical labor is typically considered "unskilled."

Work and effort are pretty fundamental concepts. I understand 'work' as a person's input into a job over time; the more emotionally and physically demanding the job, the harder the work. However, people are bringing their own understanding of hard work to the poll.
