Even before the fall, Adam had a job, which was to tend the garden of Eden which shows that man was designed to work by God.
Genesis 2:15 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.
In Genesis after Adam fell, God tells us that man will have to work hard for the rest of his days:
Genesis 3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
Bible also says that the typical work week should be 6 days - all you lazy 5 day a week 9-5ers should be working longer according to God. If you are not working six days you are being lazy as you are earning less money, gaining less experience and are less healthy.
Exodus 34:21 "Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.
