A Four Day Work Week
Derek Thompson spies a story out of Utah:
Forget everybody working for the weekend. In Utah all government
employees have shifted to a four-day workweek, and the state is calling
it a win-win-win for its budget, workers and clean air. Utah has saved
$1.8 million in electrical bills in the last year, the air has been
spared an estimated 6,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, and workers
are thrilled. Eighty-two percent of them say they prefer the new
arrangement, which still enforces the 40-hour week by requiring 10 or
more hours a day Monday - [Thursday]. Is it time to ask your boss if you
can take off Friday .... forever?
More on this from Bradford Plumer and Scientific American.
