US: Is a 40-Hour Workweek Enough in Government? (Opinion)

US: Is a 40-Hour Workweek Enough in Government? (Opinion)
Governing – July 21, 2016
When similar surveys have been conducted in the past, the results have been unsettling. Take the Colorado Child Welfare Workload Study. Over four weeks in 2014, 1,300 child welfare workers in 54 counties recorded how much time they spent on different activities. The results: 37.5 percent of their time was spent on documentation and administration, 5 percent on parent and family contact, and 4 percent on child contact.
