The reading passage mentioned that in United States, generally,employees work for five days a week for eight hours each day. while some want to work for a four-day week for less payment. Reading passage discusses the advantages of this policy, while lecturer gives points to oppose those advantages.

Health benefits must be provided to every employee, who is working four or five days a week.
Moreover, passage mentioned that it would reduce unemployment rate by hiring more employees. Because many full time employees started working fewer hours, shifted to others. While lecturer mentioned that companies expectations from employees will increase. They will demand the work of five hours in four hours. So, there will no additional job created and additionally, current job will be unpleasant.
