Why Everyone Is Quitting The 40 Hour Work Week

"three in 10 workers are planning to quit their job this year and most of those quits are attributed to gen Z and Millennials"

"46% of them said that they want to quit and that is a lot more people than even during the Great resignation when only 40% said they wanted to quit"

"we have to go back to 1940 that's when the flsa or the fair labor standards Act was changed from a 44-hour work week to a 40-hour work week"

"if we take two people one with access to 2024 technology and one with access to 1947 technology it's the person who's using modern technology who can make on average almost five times as much stuff as the other person or get five times as much work done"

"wage growth has not kept up with productivity in fact it split sometime in the early 1970s"

"a recent survey for example noticed that out of a thousand people pulled roughly a third said they'd be looking to quit and start a new job soon and the highest percentage of those people came from people between the ages of 18 to 34"

"studies also show that switching jobs especially early on is the fastest way to grow your income in fact it's actually recommended that you should switch your job every 2 to 3 years"
