Stardew Valley Fans Shocked by Emily’s “Part-Time” Job Hours

by

Summary

  • In Stardew Valley, Emily’s supposed part-time job consists of working 56 hours a week, making it more than full-time.
  • Many characters in the game work long hours, with some working non-stop until projects are finished.
  • Players find it interesting that workers in the game may toil just as hard as in the real world, but for more fulfilling reasons.

In Stardew Valley, players are debating about Emily’s job being described as part-time within the game, yet she appears to work far beyond that typical definition. This aspect becomes clear when players first get acquainted with the townsfolk of Stardew Valley. However, many would argue that the tasks Emily performs wouldn’t be considered part-time in real-world job scenarios.

In Stardew Valley, I find myself immersed in a world where nearly every adult character maintains some sort of occupation. For instance, there’s someone who works at Joja Mart, another who drives the town bus, and yet another who manages the local saloon. Emily, one of these characters, is no exception to this rule. However, contrary to what the game suggests, Emily’s job appears to be far more than just a part-time gig.

Reddit user GeneralKarthos introduced the idea that having a part-time job typically means working less than 40 hours per week. However, Emily works at the Stardrop Saloon for eight hours every day, totaling 56 hours weekly. This surpasses what is usually considered full-time work and she even works more hours compared to characters like Pierre and Clint, who both have one day off a week. There are minor exceptions, such as when Emily travels to the desert or attends certain events, but generally, she spends a significant amount of her time working at the saloon.

Stardew Valley Characters are Working Too Hard

Many people have mentioned in response to the post that Emily’s work schedule appears to be more than just part-time. At the same time, it’s been pointed out that several Stardew Valley villagers put in extremely long working hours. For instance, the Adventurer’s Guild employee works 12 hours a day, and the librarian keeps the library open for ten hours a day. Robin is no exception, as she often takes breaks but is so dedicated to her projects that she’ll work tirelessly around the clock until they’re completed.

It’s intriguing to ponder over the work dynamics in Stardew Valley, given that the protagonist leaves a demanding job to manage their grandfather’s farm. It appears that many workers in Stardew Valley might be working equally or even more intensely than the main character. However, they seem to find joy in their jobs or work for smaller entities like self-owned businesses instead of large corporations that may not appreciate them as much.
