Change Labor Laws - Either 3 day weekends or a 7 hour work day.

Americans have high rates of stress and anxiety. The fact that we have to work 40 hours a week 5 days a week is adding to this. That is more than 30% of our lives dedicated to working, not including the travel time associated which can lead to up to 40%. How are we supposed to raise educated children, put our own health first, do physical activity and eat healthy if we are putting so much time into working. Labor laws need to change to provide for more time to allow for employees to care for themselves and their families. Parents are supposed to get home from work at 5:30 or 6 in the evening - make dinner, give their kids a bath, help with homework, put them to bed and then get an hour a night to themselves. This diminishes quality of life and familial bonding.
