Mini-Editorial: Does the Four-Day Work Week Really Work?

Legislature Should Conduct Study

If Gary Herbert is looking for something to instantly distinguish himself from his predecessor, he could, upon taking office, abolish the four-day work week. He'd probably immediately increase the productivity of state government.

That's not likely to happen, but either Herbert or the Legislature really should take a good, hard look at the four-day work week and see if it's fulfilling the intent of Gov. Huntsman who implemented it. My guess is, it isn't.
