I can certainly attest to this, from my own experiences growing up (in the 90's). My father is a doctor, and I distinctly remember him spending most of his evenings in his home office doing paperwork. I asked him why he didn't do it at the office, and he said that many of his colleagues did... But as a result, they didn't get home from work until much later. (and he was already getting home just barely in time for dinner)
