 ==== Prof. Frank T. Carlton – 1914 ====
+As Prof. Carlton's article laid out, I wanted to highlight his statement on workers' interest in shorter work days due to scientific and technological advances. Workers were willing to embrace new technologies in exchange for companies meeting their demand of less hours. This presented a few options to companies, including "less workers, more hours" or "more workers, less hours" (Smith and Clancey 288). This debate on labor persists in today's businesses as companies tend to have an ebb and flow in the amount of workers they have throughout the year, typically adding more workers around the holidays, which decreases the amount of money earned per worker.  --- //[[kmcgowan@umw.edu|McGowan Khayla J.]] 2017/02/16 15:00//
