The history of hours of work in the U.S. shows a decline from 'first light to dark' to the 40-hour workweek established in 1938. With technology and AI advancements, a four-day workweek may soon become commonplace.
Large U.S. companies are exploring new work schedules like four-day workweeks, responding to workers' demands for flexibility. This shift is supported by initiatives like the United Auto Workers' intent for a 32-hour workweek.
As AI creates new jobs and workers seek flexibility over high salaries, embracing a four-day workweek becomes crucial for companies to attract and retain talent to avoid being left behind.
Embracing AI tools can help executives ensure consistent or improved productivity in a four-day workweek, allowing redesign of work processes for enhanced efficiency.
