Today in History

In 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa discovers the Pacific Ocean. Soon after, he would discover hot tubs and long weekends.

In 1932, a five-day work week is established for General Motors workers. It would soon become an industry standard.

Would you rather have a five-day, eight hours a day week or a four-day, ten hours a day week?
