New Bill Hopes To Bring 4 Day Workweeks To Massachusetts

Author Beasley Media Editorial

I just did an unofficial poll in the room I’m in and 100% of people support a four day workweek. Truth be told I’m alone here typing but hopefully that counts for something.

A new bill in Massachusetts would provide financial incentives for companies with a four-day workweek, giving tax credits to businesses transitioning workers to a shorter week while keeping the same pay intact. Lawmakers supporting the bill cite studies showing that a four day workweek increases productivity and morale – and is overall much better for employees’ mental health.

Where does the bill go from here? Stay tuned.

The Tallest Building In Massachusetts Has 60 Floors. Maine's Has 3?

I love the Boston skyline. I’m lucky enough to be able see it (from far faaaaaaarrrrrrr away) from my porch and it fills me with pride. I love this town and I feel blessed to be able to work in it every day and bring my kids up around here. Another thing the skyline got me thinking about is: what is the tallest building in Massachusetts? And what about the other New England states? I got curious enough to do a little research and find out.

If you’re curious enough too read on! And let’s make a game of it. I’ll give you all of the New England states and each one’s tallest building. Based on the state, see if you can guess what the tallest building is. If that’s too difficult just try to guess how tall it is and/or how many floors it has. I’ll give you all of that info below so you can check yourself.
