8 Hour Work Day In America

Improved Essays
For many years the work day has differed for many of Americans in this country. Some perfer long days and a shorter week, and others the complete opposite. For productivity I believe that an eight hour work day is the best possible solution. I feel that a six hour work day would cut wages for to many hard working Americans. How would anyone be able to support their current lifestyle unless wages doubled? This would be a devastating loss. When Henry Ford changed the work day from twelve hours to an eight hour day in 1914, it was revolutionary. Workers were also given a pay increase. This allowed the employees to have a job and be able to go home to their loved ones. This was a great move for the company. It increased productivity and better

    The Gilded Age, largely due to the minimal regulation of businesses by the government, resulted in a poor life for everyday Americans. There were no laws put in place to regulate how companies treated their employees, and with the growing size of businesses in the 1870s-1890s, it’s no surprise that many suffered. Many worked 12 hour days, 6 out of 7 days per week, year round. There were even night shifts because of the non-stop productivity in mills and mines. Those 12 hours were not only long, but dangerous.…

    The “American Dream” has been a central piece of ideology in American culture and history; the thought that any person, regardless of their background, could transcend their assigned socioeconomic class was among the most attractive reasons for coming to the new world. The transition from agrarianism (pre 1850) into industrialism (post 1850) changed the class structure from a relatively fixed one, making it easier for common workers to move their way up to the middle class. A more complex economy allowed them to take different career paths, and were rewarded based off merit rather than ownership. The same new economy allowed common workers to advocate for themselves where previously they could not. Although during these times there were several economic highs and lows, after the industrial revolution, intrinsic efforts from common workers to move into the middle class were more rewarded than they were previously.…

    The federal government does not place limits on the number of hours adults may work per week, but after 40 hours, time and a half must be paid. It is true and necessary that we must also devote time to other activities such as family, entertainment and passion, but I think that 40 hours are not too much and are just at the limit between the work and devoted time for ourselves. What is criticized and abusive, I consider the overtimes of those who work 70 to 80 hours per week. This can really affect their health and also impact their marriages, because when we move away from set work hours we run into the issues with boundaries between work and life that are having a significantly negative impact on employees in many cases leading to higher levels…
