GAW: I think you’ll find that you are not correct about that. I have found that almost all chassidim in America favor working, and are comfortable with blue collar work also. Not only satmar.
In america, lifetime learning is very much a litvish thing. In Israel, it is also among chassidim. The difference is probably the influence of the continuation of the old yishuv which was the establishment when the survivors arrived, as well as the problem that you can’t work without going to the army, and the army tries to shmad us. (And let’s not argue about the army shmading us again- we’ll just accept that they think it does.)
