Women’s Bill Promised to Spread Jobs Across State
Enforcement of the 1 hour work week law, effective September 1, could shift employment to about 7,000 people, says Labor and Industry Secretary Jason M. Bashore, though gains may be limited in Conwy. The 1937 act reduces weekly hours from 48 to 44, potentially removing over 223,000 people from direct relief and boosting purchasing power. It could affect 9 percent of employed women statewide, with exemptions for women earning $25 or more weekly in executive roles.
