Just 100 years ago the five-day workweek was unthinkable for American laborers but in 1932 the states officially adopted the five-day work week to combat the unemployment crisis caused by the stock crash and subsequent great depression of 1929. We are currently amid another shakeup to our way of life, one that is on par with the severity of the great depression. So perhaps it’s time again to re-assess how we work, maybe it’s time again to look at the surprisingly solid case for cutting down the days that the average American worker devotes to labor. There is a surprisingly solid case for a working week of just THREE days for most jobs. #HowMoneyWorks #TheGreatResignation #LaborCrisis ___________________________________________________________________________ Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️ ___________________________________________________________________________ Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSR Music by Epidemic Sound Stock footage by Storyblocks Follow to learn How Money Works.
