A 4 day work week for Utah’s state workers

]]> Utah will become the first state to institute a 4 day work week for state workers to save money, energy and resources.

However, there are concerns about child care and public transportation that doesn’t run at the later hours, but the overall move is projected to reduce energy use 20% by 2015 as well as improve work-life balance.

As appealing as a 4 day work week sounds, I think it would make my life crazier right now since the additional 2 hours a day would come during the busiest time of my day.

The late afternoon and early evening hours are filled with the homework and dinner rush as well as sports practices, there’s no way I could be away 4 days a week during that time.
