Today we honor the contributions and resilience of working Americans.
In the 1830s, manufacturing workers averaged 70-hour weeks.
They won a shorter, 8 hour work day + reduced the workweek to only 6 days.
(Only?!)
We later adopted a 5-day work week to turn the working class into consumers as a way to boost the economy.
We’re on the right track, but I think we’re ready for a 4-day workweek.
Ya with me?
