Congress and the President could create a large number of good jobs soon if they took unemployment seriously. It would not require budget-busting expenditures by the federal government but an approach favored by Americans in the 19th and early 20th centuries - reduced hours of work.
Hours reductions are needed to offset the cumulative increase in labor productivity which displaces human labor from productive employment into a variety of activities that do not add to our material or cultural well being but are instead “necessary evils”.
We could have a national 4-day, 32-hour workweek by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act with respect to the hours standard. It has been 70 years since the current 40-hour week became the legal standard. Now it’s time to move on to a 32-hour week. Don’t be afraid.
This book tells what measures are needed effectively to reduce working hours for Americans. It also tells how this leads to job creation.
