You might remember this post on a study about the 4-day work week based on the experience of Utah City. What was remarkable about the post is that it actually sparked a little discussion and proof that at least three people read this blog ;)

One of the threads in the discussion was about whether or not the study results could be duplicated.

Reports are coming in about the benefits of the four-day work week from other parts of the world.

Here's a piece from Seattle and another from Florida (just to prove that we aren't involved in that whole East Coast, West Coast rivalry thingy.) In Canada, the 4-day work week is being discussed from Nova Scotia to Saskatchewan. 

Environmental pressures, gas prices, and quality of life issues are among the reasons cited for embracing the practise of a four-day work week. Some commentors on our earlier post have suggested that this is part of a shift in values our culture is experiencing. What do you think of that perspective?
