In the above article online it says that Utah state government saved 4.1 million dollars in overtime pay by going to a 4 day work week. I think other state governments should do this as well to save money.
Besides, a 4 day work week is much more psychologically and physically beneficial to those that work those hours. 4 10 hour days monday through thursday means then. 3 days (72 hours) of recreation time for families, recreation, traveling or whatever. It makes for much happier employees and more work getting done in the long run. It is a win win situation for both employees and who ever they are working for.
My cousin years ago was learning to become a lawyer and the lawyer he was working for who was only in his early 40s dropped dead one day from overwork with a heart attack. My cousin decided right then and there about 40 years ago now that he would work a 4 day week when he started his own law practice and he did. Even now he still works a 4 day 10 hour a day work week and is still very happy with this practice and loves his life.
