    FAST FEEDBACK: Four Day Work Week

    Comments 0 | Recommend 0

     WEST MICHIGAN (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - The pain at the pump continues nationwide and here in West Michigan. Gas prices are at a record high again. Nationwide, gas is at $3.60 a gallon.

     

     

    The record- breaking numbers continued to climb in Michigan, as well. The average price of fuel rose almost 12-cents in Michigan this past week. AAA reports the state average is $3.63. At this time last year, gas prices were just under $3 dollars a gallon. Bio-diesel is at a whopping $4.32 while ethanol is running for $3.23.

     

     

    The still-rising gas prices have led to some rather creative ideas including calls for a four-day work week.


     

    Do you think shifting to a four-day work week, whether temporary or permanently, would actually help save you and others fuel?
