Employers Consider Four Day Work Week

By Jasmyn Belcher

Oswego, NY – As gas prices continue to rise, employers in both the public and private sectors are looking to reduce commuting costs for New Yorkers.

The state of Utah has issued a mandatory four day work week, and as Executive Director of the New York State Association of Counties, Stephen Acquario explains to WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher, some counties in New York are looking to do the same.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
