    You dont get something for nothing, either prices have to rise, or the government is propping up companies that are that ineffient that workers are only doing 32 hours in a 40 hour work week.

      You should probably update your economic knowledge.

      Study after study over the last 20-30 years has shown that productivity remains or increases when switching from 40 hrs to 32.

          If you mean that the common best practice of working 40 hrs/week is inefficient, then yes.

          Governments aren’t pushing for 40 hr work weeks, socialists and industrialists of the early 1900s were, and the rest is conservatism.

              I don’t know if there’s any studies made specifically on framers, but machinists and manufacturers have been reported to, and of course almost anyone in a knowledge job.

                  I’m saying there’s independently verified, peer reviewed, and repeated research that show that many jobs keep or increase their productivity.

                    So then you would need to dive into why that is true. I actually agree with you because I had a job like that when I was not self employed. And the reason I could be ineffient was because it was directly government funded. The only reason a machinest and manufacturing job can be ineffeicinet is because of government involvement.
