The 8-hour day provides a life balance (family, health) to the masses, as well as perhaps to the economy by creating more jobs and more leisure time to consume that further enhances the economy. For the "working class," working beyond the 8-hour day may very well involve heavy lifting. But for many professionals, such would not involve heavy lifting, providing them with wealth accumulation that would save them from being part of the "working class." So we professionals need the "working class" to remain happy and healthy for our own sakes.Shag from Brooklinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07312591102812315460noreply@blogger.com
