| Lawmakers, business leaders, and academics in the US are pushing for a four-day work week, with a bill recently introduced in Maryland to incentivize companies to switch. Critics question whether it is practical or cost-effective for employers, especially in service-based industries. The bill proposes a pilot program to study the possibility of a shorter workweek without any reduction in pay. Proponents argue that it will create a happier and more productive workforce, but doubts remain about its practicality and whether it can break through to the mainstream in a culture that values work ethic. |
