Let’s start with universal healthcare, try flex job sharing models, 3-4 days week, paid sick leave, paid vacation.
American workers are burned out, need new work week models. Where are the economist?!
Sad, a medical Dr doesn’t see how people are burned out.

Dr Oz: "If we could get the average American to start working a year earlier, right out of high school, or a year later -- not retire -- or work better during their lifetime because they're healthy, it would generate about $3 trillion to the US economy. That would more than remove the debt."
