Title:  Swedish 6-hour workday runs into trouble: It's too costly
*Author:* Amanda Billner
*Source:*  Bloomberg news
*Date:*  Jan 9, 2016
*Summary:*  A two-year experiment cutting working hours while
maintaining pay levels for nurses at Svartedalen old people’s home in
the Swedish city of Gothenburg is now nearing the end. The take away
was largely positive, with nurses at the home feeling healthier, which
reduced sick-leave, and patient care improving.
