From the construction industry to the tourism sector, Greek employers cannot find the staff they need. The government's solution: longer working hours. A new law enables employers to implement a six-day work week

“While the 40-hour work week is still officially in place, employers are permitted to require staff to work up to two unpaid hours per day for a limited period in return for more free time.”

      Would you mind elaborating? No pressure. I spent time there as a kid in the 90s and have a lot of nostalgia for the place, but I haven’t engaged with the place as an adult and I’m way out of touch so I’m genuinely curious.

        I went to Athens not too long ago. There were so many homeless and poor people. I don’t know if the country has ever really recovered from the financial crisis.
