In the news, November 11

The question what we can do to save jobs is very hard to answer. Especially since there is so many factors that are involved in this topic.
I think that one thing to maybe save a few jobs could be to do one thing that has been discused in Sweden.
A normal day of work is 8 hours. But if a normal day of work would be 6 hours instead, that would mean that some companies and places like hospitals, firerescues and a lot more places would have to hire more people to do the job that the other people used to do. If you say that at a hospital, people have to work 24/7. If you divide 24 for 8 you get 3. That means that 3 people could work within one spot. But if you divide 24 with 6 you get four. That means that 4 people could do the work that 3 people used to do. And by doing that, people would get more time over, to spend with family, friends etc. I think that by doing this we wouldn't just get more jobs but happier people as well.
