Graduates seeking their first meaningful full-time employment may be interested to hear that there have been calls to limit the number of hours they can work.
Labour has announced that it will fight to keep UK business' rights to opt out of the European Union's plans to limit weekly working hours.
However, Work Wise UK believes that this could be detrimental to the cause of British companies.
The government feels that allowing firms greater flexibility with hours will help lift the country out of its economic slump.
While Work Wise UK chief executive Phil Flaxton agrees that something must be done to this end, he feels that a limit on hours could actually help matters thanks to a boost in morale.
"In theory a more contented workforce, even in the recession, means that productivity is unlikely to be severely affected," Mr Flaxton suggested.
He added that commitment to your employer is a "very valuable thing" and that businesses would profit more from greater productivity than extra hours.
