More companies are starting to listen to their workers who say it’s too much to work a five-day week.  Research from Digital.com says 27-percent of business owners have switched to a four-day work week and another 35-percent say they’re considering it.

Digital.com’s small business expert, Dennis Consorte said, “The five-day work-week is a remnant of the industrial era. It was a way to reduce people’s shifts from even longer work-weeks, partly for religious reasons. I would argue that it was also due to better technology that required less human activity.”

Those promoting a four-day work week say I can reduce business overhead and increase productivity. Businesses planning to implement a four-day work week say it will happen before the end of the year.
