A 4 day work week is the answer. Ford changed the work week from 6 days to 5 days. It's time for another major corporation to set an example and make this move. Pay employees the same they make now for 5 days. For many professions, the same work can be done in 4 days, and for other menial jobs you give peole the opportunity to grow.
I'd like to read more on how Ford managed to change the work week from 6 days to 5 days. Would you kindly direct me to some articles/ books/ PDF's? Sincerely,
In short, Ford likely realized in the 1920s that with the usage of mass manufacturing / shifts, worker effort was more important than hours spent working, and could afford to make the change.
This eventually became codified in the US via the Fair Labor Standard Act of 1938 [1], which defined overtime as anything over 40 hours a week.
