26、developing countries.DIn the United States, employees typically work five days a week for eight hours each day. However, many employees want to work a four-day week and are willing to accept less pay in order to do so.If a law required companies to offer their employees the option of working a four-
27、day workweek for four-fifths of their normal pay, it would benefit the economy as a whole as well as the individual companies and the employees who would decide to take the option. The shortened workweek would increase company profits because employees would feel more rested and quicker, and as a re
28、sult, they would make fewer costly errors in their work. More staff would be hired to ensure the accomplishment of the same amount of work, but it would not result in additional pay that the company has to prepare for these people. It is because four-day employees would only be paid 80 percent of th
29、e normal rate. In the end, companies would have fewer overworked and error-prone(容易出错的)employees for the same money, which would increase company profits.For the country as a whole, one of the primary benefits of offering this option to employees is that it would reduce unemployment rates.

31、mployees.
