The 52 - Hour Week

Honestly, when I have to get up and go to work every day I am in a state of shock initially. It is great that hours are being cut back, but I am curious if there is a worker shortage or something.  I know there is a lot of talk about implementing a 4 day work week which would help local economies big time. We need to evolve in the US as well with flex schedules etc. I found it interesting that the perks of extra time were seen almost immediately such as:

• After-work activities have increased, such as exercising and learning hobbies.
• Spending on private education and entertainment grew at the fastest pace in nine years and seven years, respectively, in 2018, according to central bank data.

However, the work still needs to be done so while there are mandates in place requiring people not work a certain amount of hours people are completing work offline. This isn't anything foreign to the lives of teachers.  I think what really needs to be kept in the minds of employers is balance and that the workplace needs to evolve.
