In the United States Monday is the beginning of the workweek;it is the day most Americans like least. It is not surprising that day they like most is Saturday. Saturday is the end of the workweek;it is the beginning of the weekend. Life is different on the weekend. Most Americans take care of their house,car,or garden. They get up late in the morning. They enjoy the feeling that the time seems to move more slowly. The week is for things you have to do,the weekend is for things you want to do. Some people may get in a car driving in the country. They like to take part in a sports activity outdoors. And on Saturday night they might go to a public eating place or movie.

Henry Ford thought that if the working people had more free time they would spend more money and it was something good for the economy. By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day a week. Today the lives of most Americans are organized that way: 5 days of work or school followed by 2 days of rest. For many people Saturday night is the highpoint of the weekend and the week. It is the night for going out or having fun.
