Also, what about services that we have all come to rely on and expect to be ready at our beck and call? How would we fill the nursing shortage that we are currently facing when they only start working 2 days a week? What about restuarants and grocery stores? It seems they are always hiring as it is because they cannot find enough help. Are the 5 day weekenders willing to shop only 2 days a week? Plus, with a five day weekend, who could travel and stay at hotels that do not have enough employees to cover the shifts or clean the rooms? This is crazy. I went to the Raleigh rally and there were a few business people there but seemed like there were mostly homeless people (I was visiting Raleigh while my husband was at a convention and thought I would see what it was all about).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029622015492440140.post-2598132810182659662007-05-09T06:38:00.000-07:002007-05-09T06:38:00.000-07:002007-05-09T06:38:00.000-07:00How do you suppose the US economy will sustain its...How do you suppose the US economy will sustain itself if Americans worked only 2 days a week? The French tried cutting their work week down to just 35 hours and their new President calls that "absurd". It has had an impact on their economy Americans wouldn't even be able to support their lifestyle working and getting paid for only 2 days a week. Or do you expect to get paid for 5 days and work for 2?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
