Typically, A. foragers / hunter-gatherers have to work harder for their food and have less leisure/free time compared to B. farmers.
Foraging requires constant movement and searching for wild resources, which can be unpredictable and requires extensive knowledge of the environment. In contrast, farmers cultivate crops and raise livestock, which can create a more stable food supply. While farming also demands hard work, it generally allows for more predictable food sources and the ability to manage time and labor in a way that can lead to more leisure time compared to the more labor-intensive and uncertain nature of foraging.
It's worth noting, however, that the work and leisure balance can vary greatly depending on specific circumstances and cultural practices.
