States eye (and deny) 4-day workweek

States eye (and deny) 4-day workweek 
Becker's Hospital Review, by Alexis Kayser; 3/4/24 
The shortened workweek appeals to most Americans. A July survey found that 81% of the full-time U.S. workforce supports a four-day schedule, and 89% would sacrifice something else for that extra day off: working longer hours on "on-days," taking a pay cut or even switching industries. But the idea is less likely to win executives' favor. ... Multiple states have introduced their own legislation to support the four-day workweek, to varying levels of success.
