A time bank is a service market that uses the person-hour as a unit of currency instead of the dollar. Participants exchange services at an equal rate of one hour received for one hour given. Over 250 small-scale time banks exist in the US, and they are commonly used to promote community services at a local level. A national time bank could augment our country's limited job market and help citizens find work. The person-hour is tax-exempt and immune to inflation.
