The modern weekend was revolutionized by Henry Ford, who implemented the five-day workweek in his Ford Motor Company factories in 1926, not just for worker welfare but to increase efficiency and sales; this move influenced global labor practices and is credited with boosting the U.S. economy by giving people more time for leisure and consumption.
