Leading up to the first Labor Day celebration in the 1880s, a typical workweek was 10 hours a day, six to seven days a week. It wasn’t until 1938 when a 44-hour work week was mandated with overtime pay for over 44 hours.
Changes came when employees were in great demand or had a better bargaining position because of labor unions. When we look back on this upcoming Labor Day, we will likely see that we are living in another pivotal moment of change.
Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 2:17, “So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”
Many frustrated employees are quitting their jobs. Change in the marketplace is coming soon.
