“Less Work, More Life”
In the News: As Labor Day (U.S.) approaches next week, we focus on how work affects our lives. The cover story in the September 2010 issue of The Progressive highlights the need for Americans to work less. The author, John de Graaf, argues that “reducing hours and sharing available work is essential for our families, health, economic security, and the environment.”
